Losing Your Temper with Your Kids

EP:126 Hey friends! I just recorded a new episode of the Thrive Like a Parent podcast all about losing your temper with your kids. As a mom, I know how hard this can be - we all have those moments where we just feel like we're at the end of our rope. But I want you to know that it doesn't make you a bad parent. It just means you need to take care of yourself, whether that's taking a break, practicing self-care, or finding healthy ways to manage your emotions.   In this episode, I get real about my own struggles with traditional "play" activities, and how I've learned to connect with my kids in my own unique way. I also share my honest thoughts on some popular parenting experts and methods - not everything works for every family, and that's okay! The key is being kind to yourself, setting boundaries, and making time for your own mental health. When we do that, we can show up as calmer, more regulated parents. I hope this episode gives you the validation and encouragement you need. You're doing an amazing job, even on the tough days. Sending you all my love!   #parenting #selfcare #mentalhealth #emotionalregulation #parentingtips #thrivelikeaparent    Links & Resources: 📘 Check out more episodes of Thrive Like a Parent - https://drbrookeweinstein.com/thrive-podcast/ 📸 Follow Dr. B on Instagram -   https://bit.ly/48VZI5e   🌐 Visit our website for more resources on self-care and well-being - https://drbrookeweinstein.com   0:00 - Introduction and Context 5:00 - Connecting with Children in Unique Ways 10:00 - The Importance of Self-Care and Boundaries
