At a low moment in a grocery store I snapped at my kids. I had been trying all the things and still I couldn’t stay calm and I snapped. A woman came up to me and gave me an ear full about how bad of a mother I was and how I handled the moment in a terrible way.  In this episode I share how I moved through that moment and I give you some additional resources for when you too find yourself in a moment of shame and low self worth.  🎉REWIRE with ResponseABLE Parenting is HERE!!!🎉 You will never need to frantically reach for another script, tool, or strategy again!

I know this movie is from last year but I will watch it over and over again. It's so good! If you haven’t seen it, The Wild Robot will validate all of your parenting feelings! :) In this week’s episode I break down a scene where the main robot shares how she’s reprogrammed herself in order to show up for the child she needs to care for. It’s an incredible validation that we are globally stepping into a new knowledge of how this relationship thrives. We are no longer doing things because "that's the way they’ve always been done.” We are now consciously aware that this relationship takes work…but the work starts internally for us as the parent.  Make sure you join my free workshop coming up on 8/26: Rewire Your Reactions!If you can’t join live, sign up for the replay and learn how to do this exact process yourself!

It is so easy to correct our kids over and over. Especially when it’s the same repetitive behavior that is beyond annoying. However this is RESULTS focused correction. And when we don’t get the results we want, we get angry, we get annoyed, and OUR default pattern of reaction comes pouring out. *And lets be honest, probably with greater intensity than it deserves because of our emotional trigger. In this week’s shift happens episode I talk about shifting away from the results and looking more towards the TRY. When we notice our kids trying we can see that they are in fact shifting in the direction of the results we’re after. But we’re giving it time and we’re not loading on the shame.  This is a quick mental reframe and I hope it serves you as much as it served me! GET REGULATED!

This was an incredible conversation with Kristen Jenson - author of the best selling book GOOD PICTURES BAD PICTURES. Please check out more info on Kristen and her books below.  I learned so much about our children’s accessibility and vulnerability to images that can have a huge impact on their brain development. I also had no idea it could start so young. Even if your children are in Kindergarten or below, please take a listen to prepare for the reality that faces our kids at a very young age - especially when they have access to ipads or phones.  Kristen Jenson Website/Books: www.defendyoungminds.com/books Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DefendYM/ Instagram: @defendyoungminds X: @defendYM LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/defend-young-minds GET REGULATED!
