Grow As A Parent

Grow As A Parent Break the cycle of yelling & disconnection. Learn effective strategies to build trust and cooperation

Having two headstrong, highly-sensitive children myself, I know the shame of feeling helpless and disconnected from my kids. I became a parenting coach because I am passionate about helping parents break free from the confusion and shame and learn to like and accept their kids for who they are, and find joy in the home!

As a parent, helping your child build their frustration tolerance skills can be… well… frustrating.

In order to help my son with his frustration, I had to get real clear on *why I was so uncomfortable* with his feelings.

I had to get clear on why something that was developmentally appropriate for a child to do (i.e. whining) was so dang hard for me to witness.

Until I learned the root of why I felt like I needed to rescue him from his discomfort, I couldn’t begin to help him grow his bandwidth for frustration.

đź’ˇ Once I got to the bottom of my own uncomfortable feelings, I could help him manage and process his.

There’s no “fixing” here. Uncomfortable feelings are just that… uncomfortable, not dangerous.

Now when he starts boiling over, before I even approach his behavior, I check in with where I am in my nervous system first. Then, I have 2 strategies I use depending on how worked up he is.

👉🏻 Validation and Support: “I see how hard you’re working. It makes sense you’re frustrated. I know you can do hard things.”

👉🏻 Play: I pretend like I am having just as hard of a time as he is with his task. This can go one of 2 ways… turn our moments of frustration into silliness OR normalizes his frustration. Even adults and parents don’t get things on the first try!

✨ It makes sense that it’s hard to sit through your child’s feelings of frustration.

🫶🏻 If you are ready to get to the root of why this is, comment “ROOT” and I’ll send you my free workbook to help you get to the bottom of why your child’s behavior is so triggering.
