64. When You Lose Your Cool As A Parent with @raisingresilience_mornington

50 minutes

In this chat with Jess, the owner of Raising Resilience Mornington Peninsula - we chat all about what to do as a parent when you've lost your cool and become disregulated. If this has happened to you - you are NOT alone!

She is on a mission to support parents to feel confident when it comes to navigating their children’s emotions and mental health, and understanding their children’s behaviour on a deeper level.

Raising children can be joyous, beautiful and deeply satisfying. It can also feel exhausting, confusing and downright frustrating at times - that’s why RRMP exists!

RRMP offers a Family Mental Health for Parents Workshop (that covers all the essentials they believe every parent should know about when it comes to supporting their child’s mental health). They also offer 1:1 parenting consultations via telehealth where they look at your specific parenting challenges through an emotion focused, beyond behaviour, play-based lens.

Key takeaways:

Children are highly attuned to their parents' emotional states.

Self-compassion is essential for parents to navigate challenges.

Modeling healthy emotional expression teaches children valuable lessons.

It's important to communicate feelings to children to help them understand emotions.

Parents should seek support and prioritize self-care to maintain balance.

Repairing relationships after dysregulation is crucial for children's emotional health.

Understanding the reasons behind emotional reactions can foster growth.

It's okay to acknowledge that parenting is hard and seek help. Repairing with ourselves is crucial before addressing our children.

Can't wait for you to listen to this chat!
