Ep.76: Mom Anger - Identifying Triggers & Helpful Tips

Like a sleeping giant, anger can sit dormant or relatively calm until we become parents.  Then, suddenly, it can feel like it wakes up and takes over.  If you feel that parenting triggers anger, on any level, this podcast is for you.   My guests for this episode, Amber Lia and Wendy Speake, are the authors of Triggers: Exchanging Parent's Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses.  We discuss common parenting issues that cause us to explode inappropriately at our children. Moving beyond simple parenting tips on how to change your child's behavior, Amber and Wendy offer biblical insight that gets to the deeper internal places of the heart.   From setting reminders on your phone, to coming up with new plans for old patterns, to affirming positive behavior, we discuss practical ways that parents can break the cycle of anger and emerge more patient, kind, grace-filled and effective.
