5 Ways We Trigger Our Kid's Anger Without Realizing It | 37

I know a lot of focus is on helping kids make better choices so that we raise respectful humans and I love this.

But I also think that we must balance these conversations with holding ourselves accountable & shining a light on the ways in which we influence situations.

Here's the thing - We are all "guilty" of triggering our children.

This is not about shaming ourselves ("I'm such a bad parent. Every time I read parenting content I'm reminded of how much I'm failing.").

This is about taking accountability for the ways in which we may be triggering our child's anger without even realizing it.

At the end of the day, parenting is about our relationship with our child.

So as long as we are *only* focusing on our child and the ways in which they aren't measuring up, we will miss opportunities to take accountability (and thus see growth).

In this week's episode, I share the 5 most common ways we trigger our child to either lash out in anger or shut down - and most importantly, simple tweaks you can make to your parenting approach to add more clarity and connection to your relationship with your child.
