030: Imperfect Parenting & Emotional Overwhelm

Mama Needs More

In today's episode, I talk about an experience where I quickly judged another parent. His daughter was feeling emotionally overwhelmed (a.k.a. having a temper tantrum) and oh, I had some judgment going on about his response. In the show, I explain the story and my realization at that moment that I am also an imperfect parent, which is ok.
Perfection is not what we're aiming for as parents, and we shouldn't even try. Good is great and good enough!
When it comes to understanding our emotions and those of our kids, it can be hard, especially if you never received proper tools and support when you were a child. To help with getting out of emotional overwhelm, I provide some strategies that can be used by you and your child, including a teenager.
