Ep 381 Yelling at Your Kids ft. Chris Wilson

Send us Fan MailAs someone who struggles with a quick temper and anger, this episode was very personal for coach Chris.While we tend to be on our best behavior in public and at work, often when at home with the people we love the most, we can resort to explosive anger, yelling, cursing, and using harsh, hurtful words.Basically, our most cherished people in the world, our children and spouses, see us at our worst.In this solo podcast, host Chris Wilson reveals where his deep seeded anger and yelling behavior comes from. He talks about his father’s lifelong alcoholism and violence, the closeness of his mother and brothers and what he is attempting to do to overcome this unwanted, destructive behavior. "I want to get to the point that over-reaction doesn't happen at all... I'm not yelling, I'm not loud or irate." — Chris Wilson Time Stamps00:44 - Welcome to the Strong By Design podcast 01:40 - Join us today as Coach Chris Wilson hosts a special solo episode 02:45 - Coach Chris discusses his childhood struggles and how they influence his reactions today 15:00 – From 0-100, what does it mean to make a mountain out of a molehill? 28:08 - Is raising your voice necessary? 32:06 - Ways to express anger and frustration positively 41:59 - How does prayer bring emotional balance? 45:50 - Chris opens up about his dad 48:18 - Parenting: Understanding each other’s reactions 50:14 - How to master your emotions for better control 54:11 – 4 ‘final thought’ key takeaways from today’s episode Resources:·         Books by Dr. Meg Meeker·         Anger: Taming a Powerful Emotion by Gary Chapman·         Uncommon Manhood by Tony Dungy·         The Bible App Connect with Chris:·         Instagram·         FacebookSupport the showConnect w/ Critical Bench: YoutubeFacebookInstagramCriticalBench.comCriticalNutritionLabs.comStrongByDesignPodcast.com
