Episode 3: How to Stop Yelling at Your Kids
Parenting is filled with moments of joy, connection, and deep love—but it also comes with frustration, overwhelm, and, for many of us, the guilt of losing our temper. In this episode, I open up about one of the most common yet rarely discussed struggles in parenting: yelling. We explore why it happens, how our nervous system plays a role, and most importantly, how we can begin to shift this response and build stronger connections with our kids.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why we yell: understanding the nervous system’s role in our reactions and why it often feels automatic.
- How the patterns we learned growing up influence our parenting today.
- The impact of yelling on our kids, including how it affects emotional regulation.
- Ways we can expand our window of tolerance and handle stress without resorting to yelling.
- How intentional breathing can help us break the cycle and make more conscious parenting choices.
Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about awareness, growth, and connection. If you’ve been struggling with yelling, you are not failing, and you are not alone. Small shifts lead to big changes, and every step you take toward showing up differently is a step toward breaking old patterns. If this episode resonated with you, it would mean so much to me if you shared it with a fellow parent and left a review and rating!
