In this video, I teach you a simple, science-backed strategy that can help you lose your cool less often and let go of the guilt that follows. I explain why calm parenting isn't about never feeling angry, but about what you do in the moments when emotions spike, and I show you how two powerful words, try again can change the way you regulate yourself under pressure. You'll learn the psychology behind self-compassion, how rupture and repair actually strengthen your bond with your child, and a practical calm-parent reset you can use in under 10 seconds. This video will help you respond instead of react, model emotional regulation for your kids, and build the kind of calm, resilient parenting legacy you want to be remembered for.
