64. When You Lose Your Cool As A Parent with @raisingresilience_mornington

In this chat with Jess, the owner of Raising Resilience Mornington Peninsula - we chat all about what to do as a parent when you've lost your cool and become disregulated. If this has happened to you - you are NOT alone!

She is on a mission to support parents to feel confident when it comes to navigating their children’s emotions and mental health, and understanding their children’s behaviour on a deeper level. 

Raising children can be joyous, beautiful and deeply satisfying. It can also feel exhausting, confusing and downright frustrating at times - that’s why RRMP exists!

RRMP offers a Family Mental Health for Parents Workshop (that covers all the essentials they believe every parent should know about when it comes to supporting their child’s mental health). They also offer 1:1 parenting consultations via telehealth where they look at your specific parenting challenges through an emotion focused, beyond behaviour, play-based lens.

Key takeaways:

• Children are highly attuned to their parents' emotional states.
• Self-compassion is essential for parents to navigate challenges.
• Modeling healthy emotional expression teaches children valuable lessons.
• It's important to communicate feelings to children to help them understand emotions.
• Parents should seek support and prioritize self-care to maintain balance.
• Repairing relationships after dysregulation is crucial for children's emotional health.
• Understanding the reasons behind emotional reactions can foster growth.

• It's okay to acknowledge that parenting is hard and seek help. Repairing with ourselves is crucial before addressing our children.
