Ever found yourself knowing exactly how you want to respond to your child's behavior, only to have all that wisdom fly out the window when emotions run high?
You're not alone. Dr. Alissa Jerud, clinical psychologist and author of "Emotion Savvy Parenting," knows this struggle intimately—both professionally and personally.
In this transformative conversation, Dr. Jerud reveals why even the most well-read parents still lose their cool (hint: it's not because you're failing). She vulnerably shares her own parenting moments that didn't go as planned, while offering practical, science-backed strategies to help you navigate emotional storms.
You'll discover:
The ART framework that helps you Accept, Regulate, and Tolerate big emotions when they arise
The game-changing CARE technique that can reduce your heart rate by 50% in just 30 seconds (perfect for those "about to lose it" moments)
Why practicing these skills when you're calm dramatically increases your ability to use them when you're triggered
How to move past shame when you don't respond perfectly (because you won't—and that's actually good for your kids to see)
Dr. Jerud compassionately reminds us that emotions are messengers, not emergencies. While we should welcome them, we don't have to let them drive our behavior with our children.
Ready to transform how you handle those zero-to-sixty emotional moments with your kids? Listen to this episode now for practical skills you can start using today to parent more mindfully, even when big feelings threaten to take over.
