Three Things You Can do Instead of Blowing Up at Your Kids

No items found.

Even good parents get to a breaking point at times and get reactive instead of connected.

Here are three things you can do to help your nervous system reset...

1. Take a parent time out--give yourself a bit of space to breathe and reset

2. Invite your kids to have an intentional silly tantrum with you. It usually ends in laughter and releases some of the tension

3. Take a silent hug reset to help your bodies reconnect and regulate

Instead of Punishing through Time Outs, Regulate through Taking a Break
00:43

In this video, the speaker discusses time outs from a perspective based on attachment research, emphasizing the importance of taking breaks to help reset our brains when we are dysregulated and the need for calm co-regulation rather than isolating with shame or pain as a lesson, adding that the lesson we want to teach is that our bodies need breaks sometimes to calm down so our brains can make good, safe choices - and this lesson applies to marriages as well!
