About this listen

Before we became parents we had all sorts of ideas about what it would be like, stemming from our past experiences, memories, books, hopes and dreams, other peoples ideas...but it's not quite the same thing becoming a parent. I'd personally never have it any other way but there are things we don't anticipate if our children are of a certain sensitive temperament and experience great anxiety; we might not be prepared for the reactivity, the unpredictability of emotional upheaval, the overwhelm, the feeling of 'nothing's working'.

Let me help you out a little bit...there are 3 important mindset shifts or mental models that builds a framework that could turn things around.

1. regulation over reaction

2. curiosity instead of judgement

3. connection before correction

Tune in to learn more.
