[REWIND] Parents Have Feelings, Too


Listen Later

Do you ever feel confused about how you are supposed to talk about your feelings as a parent? On the one hand, we are supposed to "shield" our children from the ups and downs of life and not talk about our feelings. On the other hand, aren't we supposed to model healthy emotional expression and teach them that feelings are important?

We spend so much time talking about our kids' feelings, but we forget that our own feelings are equally important to address. Not only for ourselves but also to raise emotionally healthy kids.

We get into the WHYs and HOWs of expressing your feelings as a parent, all with the aim of improving your own well-being as well as increasing empathy and problem-solving in your kids. So, sit back, relax, take a listen… and then tell your kids all about it!

Come over to our Instagram or Facebook to let us know how it went. We always love to hear from you!
