How to Parent Peacefully. With the Hand in Hand Parenting approach.

Shownotes Transcript

This week on the podcast I am talking about how to help our children with frustration. 

I think frustration is one of the most difficult emotions to be with - because so often we end up frustrated ourselves. We quickly get frustrated with our children’s frustration. 

So this week I’m talking about how we can break out of that cycle of frustration and deal with it in a more emotionally mature way so we can support our children to offload their own frustrations and take on challenges in life without hiding away from the difficult things they are faced with. 

I talk about how to unravel our own stories around frustration, how to stay present and grounded in the moment, why connection (as always) is the key, whey we don’t have to shy away from the bigger feelings underneath the frustration and I also have some playful ideas to help in the moment and proactively at other times. 

And as always, I have a big dose of empathy for you - it is ok to show up as the messy, imperfect human you are to support your child with their big messy feelings. We are all imperfect parents figuring it out together.
