If someone filmed the way you talk to your kids… would you be proud of it? In this episode, we talk about how old patterns, perfectionism, and emotional overload show up in parenting. We dive into the way we sometimes act like a fool at home, yelling, snapping, or getting sarcastic when we'd never behave that way with another adult. We also share stories about parenting teens and tweens, how they've learned to hit "rewind" after a meltdown, and what it really looks like to model emotional regulation. Get ready to rethink your reactions and start parenting with presence, not perfection.

Highlights

• Why we talk to our kids in ways we'd never talk to other adults.

• How "redo" and "rewind" conversations build emotional safety.

• What I learned when my son said "You don't let me be angry".

• Why your kids deserve the same respect and repair as your peers.

• The danger of thinking "I'm the adult, they're the kid".

• A single question to ask yourself when you're about to lose it.
