Ep. 106- How To Shift Your Parenting From Reactivity To Resilience
Manage episode 501315194 series 3459435
What if your child’s difficult behavior isn’t disrespect, but a reflection of their developing brain? In this episode, we explore how our internal lens—shaped by past experiences, emotions, and expectations—can distort how we interpret our children’s actions. You’ll learn how to shift from reactivity to resilience using neuroscience, emotional self-awareness, and developmentally-aligned thinking. Discover how to parent with more clarity, curiosity, and compassion—and teach your child the same.
