Eps 88 - Understanding Your Child’s Extreme Behaviours Without Taking It Personally

In this episode of the Re-MIND Podcast, Dr. Ashleigh Moreland and co-host David Masterton explore the challenging world of children’s extreme behaviours and how to approach them without taking it personally. From tantrums to talking back, they discuss why certain behaviours feel overwhelming, the role of a child’s developing brain, and how our own past experiences and triggers as parents can shape our reactions. You’ll learn practical strategies to set boundaries, foster emotional intelligence, and build a healthy dynamic with your children - all while maintaining your sanity. Ashleigh and David dive into the importance of self-awareness, addressing our own capacity as caregivers, and how to model the behaviours we want to see in our kids. Whether you're navigating defiance, boundary-testing, or simply feeling the strain of parenting, this episode is packed with insights to help you respond thoughtfully, even in the most trying moments. Tune in and discover how understanding your child’s behaviour can transform your parenting journey. 🎧 Listen to the Re-Mind Podcast on all major podcast platforms Rise and Thrive: https://riseandthrive.re-mind.institute/ David’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/accidental_ascension Website: www.re-mind.institute Facebook: Re-MIND Institute Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/remind.institute https://www.pinterest.com.au/ReMINDInstitute/?fbclid=IwAR0y56gD4nbAop_524-LtAAO2y1FDhIQv2dK9TTl0Zbo08TVNIdguSTjhYQ [Disclaimer: The Re-Mind Podcast provides general information and discussion about various mental health and well-being topics.
