A tough part about parenting is when you and your partner get caught in a conflict cycle. This cycle feels messy, but it follows a predictable pattern:

1. Child Yells / Misbehaves

2. Parent A (Activated): Yells back, often activating their own painful childhood memory of feeling out of control.

3. Parent B (Critical): Jumps in with judgment or criticism (“You shouldn’t yell at him like that!”).

4. Parent A (Shame): Parent A immediately shifts from angry to defensive and ashamed, and the couple begins fighting, leaving the child issue unresolved.

To break this chain, Parent B’s job is not to correct the yelling, but to protect the partner. We teach couples the “Pause and Get Curious” intervention:

PAUSE: Parent B resists the urge to criticize or shame Parent A.

GET CURIOUS: Later, when calm, Parent B asks: “I noticed you got really activated in there. I’m curious: What part of you got triggered in that moment?”

This shifts the focus from blame to healing and allows the couple to unite against the cycle, not against each other.

Ready to stop fighting the cycle and start healing it? We specialize in helping couples navigate these parenting moments and restore connection.

Speaking FOR vs. Speaking FROM

Here’s a lesson from my own life: In a moment of overwhelm, I said, “I hate my life.” Later, my stepson gently confronted me: “That made me think you don’t like living with me.” 💔 Ouch. He questioned his worth in the system.

That was me speaking FROM the emotion (my overwhelmed, exhausted feeling). What I should have done was speak FOR the emotion. We are the experts of emotional regulation, but even we don’t get it right 100% of the time.

The power wasn’t in the mistake, but the repair. The next time you slip, use this script:

Speaking FROM Emotion: “I hate my life! I can’t do this!” (Child feels responsible and insecure.)

Speaking FOR Emotion: “I’m feeling incredibly overwhelmed right now, and I need a 5-minute break.” (Child learns to label feelings and trust stability.)

This models healthy coping and protects your child’s sense of security.

I spent literally 9 years in school, but ask me to pronounce “canaliculi” on the first try while helping with anatomy homework? 💀 It’s a guaranteed fail.

I realize my stepson doesn’t actually need me to be his high school science tutor. He needs me to be the cheerleader who sits next to him while he studies and makes jokes. The real win isn’t getting the right answer; it’s the connection we build while laughing at my inability to pronounce “acetabulum.”

Your job isn’t perfection; it’s presence. Forget the textbook terms and focus on showing up.

My stepson wanted to go for a run, and even though my bones feel like they are not made for running, I laced up. 😅 This is the reality of one-on-one time with teens: it stops being about magnet tiles and starts being about meeting them in their chosen world. The activity doesn’t matter; the presence does.

Our November newsletter breaks down how focused connection must evolve as kids get older. The “10-Minute Miracle” is still the key, but for a teen, it might be a shared car ride, a co-op video game, or a painful run. The principle is the same: show up fully, put your agenda away, and just connect.

When Your Child Triggers Your Trauma

The real-time moment your child screams or blocks a door, and suddenly, you’re not a parent anymore—you’re a terrified child again. The fear and anger you feel are intense and historical, not logical.

This is the power of the I-Statement in trauma-informed parent therapy. You don’t say this to the child; you say it to yourself:

I feel intensely afraid when my child screams, because it feels exactly like being trapped and helpless when I was a child.

This is the U-Turn. You use that statement to separate your adult self from your activated emotional response. Only then can you calm your nervous system and respond with compassion, not reaction.

You can heal the triggers that disrupt your family. We specialize in helping parents master this internal repair work so they can show up as the safe, calm anchor their child needs.

Happy Halloween! 🧡 And a very happy birthday to the woman who shaped my world. The relationship you have with your parent, even as an adult, is one of the most powerful forces in your life—and it doesn’t have to stay stuck in old patterns.

Healing the adult parent-child relationship requires courage, self-awareness, and a willingness to be curious instead of defensive. It’s about seeing them as a person who also struggled, not just as the parent who made mistakes. It’s also the greatest gift you give your own kids—the model of generational repair.

3 Conversation Starters for Healing & Connection:

Use these questions to open the door to connection and break out of old scripts:

“What was the hardest part about being a parent at my age?” (Invites vulnerability, removes focus from your experience.)

“When I was little, you always [behavior/rule]. Can you tell me what feeling that rule was designed to protect?” (Seeks positive intent, not just fault.)

“Looking back on that chapter, what is one thing you wish I understood about you that I didn’t see at the time?” (Shifts perspective, honors their unseen struggle.)

Choose one question. Practice listening without needing to agree or correct. That small moment of curiosity is the biggest step toward repair.

STOP believing the myth of the perfect parent. It’s a lie!

Attachment theory research shows that parents and kids are actually misattuned (out of sync) about 70% of the time. Your anxiety about messing up is normal, but the pressure to be 100% perfect is unnecessary and counterproductive.

The quality of your parent-child bond is not determined by how often you get it wrong. It’s determined by how reliably you repair the rupture.

Use this simple repair script when you lose your cool or miss a cue:

Acknowledge the Mismatch (The Apology): “I’m so sorry I snapped just now. That wasn’t fair to you, and it was my mistake.”

Validate the Feeling: “I see you were really frustrated when I said no.”

Restore Connection: “I’m back now. Can we try a do-over?”

The Takeaway: You just need to be reliably good enough.

Five years, five haunted houses! 🎃 I will say the enthusiasm level is inversely proportional to the age, but we did it! Hitting the same haunted house isn’t just about fun—it’s about the power of ritual. These memories are precious, but psychologically, they’re essential.

In a world that feels unpredictable (especially to kids and teens), rituals are the stable anchors that calm the nervous system. They tell the brain: “This is safe. This is predictable. We are connected.” These repeated, meaningful family actions are vital for building security, identity, and resilience across the family lifespan.

What is one small, non-negotiable fall ritual your family relies on to create stability? Share in the comments! 👇

Stop scrolling for a second. Are you exhausted by the endless advice? From TikTok experts telling you how to discipline, to that book insisting on a perfect routine—the noise is deafening. It often leaves you feeling more anxious and less equipped than when you started. 😩

Here’s the clinical truth: You are the expert on your child. You know their cues, their history, and their heart better than any therapist or influencer. The goal of effective parenting isn’t to follow a script; it’s to quiet the outside chaos and reconnect with your own intuition. We call this finding your Parenting North.

Ready to stop comparing and start connecting? We help parents build the self-awareness and regulation skills needed to trust their own decisions.
