Your kid’s behaviour isn’t the real reason you snapped…
It might look like the spilled juice, not doing as you asked (for the 50 millionth time), or the slammed door that set you off…
…but usually, it touches something much deeper inside.
A part of you that once felt unheard.
Unsafe.
Or unloved.
Your reactions aren’t just about what’s happening in front of you. They’re old wounds bubbling up, asking for compassion. Asking to be seen and heard.
When you learn to regulate yourself first, you stop pouring all your past pain onto your kids and you get to respond differently.
You stop doing to them what hurt you in the first place.
👉 This is exactly what I’ll be teaching in my Regulate & Respond workshop- simple tools to pause, regulate, and respond with calm and connection.
