Thereâs so much I could say about this video đ„č But reallyâŠmoments like this between my kids heal something in me that desperately needed someone to look out for me as a young girl â€ïžâđ©č Being an older sister was hardâŠand as Iâve grown and become a mother, itâs just started to hit me how hard it was. Yep, I was a great role model for my younger sibling, was extremely responsible, always looked out for everyoneâŠbut if Iâm honest, there were a lot of moments when I needed a lot more of that for me too. Watching my daughter get to experience having the BEST BIG BROTHER EVER is literally the best and wowâŠmakes my inner little girl smile so hard đ„Č âŠand at the same time, Iâm trying to be so intentional to make sure my big boy never feels like he has to carry or hold too much (because of course, he reminds me so much of how I was as an older sibling). Hereâs your reminder to love a little extra on your older or âmore responsibleâ kids cause they need way more than we realize. And yessssss to the little girls with brothers who will always have their backs. Lastly, to the parent who is embarking on a re-parenting journey or trying to soothe their hurting inner child- I see you â€ïž P.S.

Iâve always been hesitant to share this about myself because who wants to actually admit that they are a parent who doesnât yet know how to self-regulate and manage their own emotions well? Likewise, nobody wants to admit that theyâve made some pretty big mistakes as a parent but arenât we all doing ourselves a disservice by not talking about it? Life truly blessed me when the opportunity to write âA Parentâs Guide to Self-Regulationâ came my way. My first thought was HOW can I write this book when IâM THE MAIN ONE STRUGGLING with this shit đ âŠbut now Iâm seeing that maybe I was the perfect one to write this book, and to be able to share my mistakes, all Iâve learned, and the amazing science that all goes with it. âA Parentâs Guide To Self-Regulationâ is the hands-on, practical guide youâve been looking for. In it, youâll learn: đThe most common triggers for parental dysregulation đThe very best Stratford mitigating tough parenting moments đThe biggest myths about dysregulated parenting đHow to develop your own self-regulatory plan đHow to actually break the cycle of dysregulation in your family Im so excited to be able to share my mistakes, all Iâve learned, The PCR Method for dysregulated parents (yep, all in the book) and the amazing science that all goes with it. âš Link in bio to PRE-ORDER your copy âš Published by: @ulyssespress

Did you know⊠đ How your child manages their emotions could be a reflection of how youâre managing yours? If you want a really good way to know how youâve been handling or regulating your emotions as a parent, look at how your children are doing it. And when you look at how your children are doing, itâll give you a sense of how you yourself have been handling or regulating your own emotions within the past three to six months. Thatâs because our kids tend to model how we handle and or regulate or manage our emotions. So without even knowing it, you are teaching your children how to respond, how to react, how to cope, etc. They are picking up on Al the things that youâve been doing. So, again⊠how is your child handling that frustrating moment? How are they handling stress? It might be a really good indication of how you yourself have been handling stress or frustration or other big emotions within the last three to six or more months. I encourage you to NOT focus on how theyâre doing it and try to teach them something different, but INSTEAD- you work on how you can do it differently. And in a few months, youâll start to see them also managing and responding to things in a different manner because itâll be a reflection of how youâre doing it. P.S. I wrote a book all about this and it can help! đâA Parentâs Guide to Self-Regulationâ đ in bio to order a copy! #emotions #parenting #emotionalregulation #childmodeling #stressmanagement #emotionalintelligence

The Imperfect Journey of Parenthood: Lessons in Awareness and Growth I love sharing my personal reflections on the challenges and growth of parenting. I think itâs so necessary to emphasize the importance of acknowledging mistakes, learning from them, and striving for continuous improvement. All the while, this can not happen without grace, compassion, and even a little self-forgiveness sometimes too â€ïž If this resonated with you, I wrote a book that you will love â¶ïž âA Parentâs Guide to Self-Regulation: A Practical Framework for Breaking the Cycles of Dysregulation and Mastering Emotions for Parents & Children.â {đ in bio to order a copy} Has your child ever communicated a fear of sharing their mistakes with you?

Iâm a parent with BIG feelings, especially when it comes to my kids getting older and growing up đ„Čđ„č I feel lots of nostalgia (already) about things we used to do or things they used to say. I get sad at the thought of them moving away or venturing off into the world. I also feel so much anxiety about all the things that could go wrong or how they world might hurt them đ MOSTLY, Iâm excited for their future but Iâve learned that when these other feelings creep in, I need to make sure I keep them in check so they donât take over. I wrote âA Parentâs Guide to Self-Regulationâ for parents who also have big feelings and struggle with moments like this too â€ïž Iâll be using my framework (The PCR Method đ) to get me through this upcoming year of Kindergarten!! AndâŠ.Iâm sure it will help you too. đ in bio to order a copy!

Homeschool moms need emotional regulation too đ I had the greatest pleasure of speaking with the homeschool moms of Loudoun Countyâs Mocha Moms! We talked all about the ways that their own emotional coping impacts their homeschooling. I learned so much about the day-to-day of a homeschool mom and am grateful to have been able to contribute the conversation with a dialogue around emotional regulation and how it can enhance and improve their journey of homeschooling! Thank you so much to Loudoun County Mocha Moms for inviting me to speak! Looking forward to the next time we connect đ đ in bio to learn about how to book me for your next event. #mochamoms #homeschoolmom #homeschoolersoftiktok #homeschoolparents

Would you believe me if I told you that Iâve spent much of my early years as a mom trying to figure out how to not yell, lose my patience, and control my temperâŠ? Nobody wants to admit that theyâve made some pretty big mistakes as a parent and if Iâm honest- Iâve made SEVERAL. Once I figured out what was going on (my OWN emotional dysregulation was out of control!), I was able to fix the problem and learn new skills to make some changes. I even wrote a book about it to help you too â€ïž âA Parentâs Guide To Self-Regulationâ is the hands-on, practical guide youâve been looking for. In it, youâll learn: đThe most common triggers for parental dysregulation đThe very best strategies for mitigating tough parenting moments đThe biggest myths about dysregulated parenting đHow to develop your own self-regulation plan đHow to actually break the cycle of dysregulation in your family Im so excited to be able to share my parenting mistakes, all Iâve learned, The PCR Method for dysregulated parents (yep, all in the book) and the amazing science that all goes with it. âš Link in bio to ORDER your copy âš

đ€Łđ no, but for real⊠There was a time when I felt like me and my family simply could NOT have a positive morning before we all left for school and work, and moments like this happened a LOT. It took me awhile to realize that no- I may never change the fact that I donât enjoy morning routines, responsibilities may always feel overwhelming, or that my kids will never be on my same schedule or have my same priorities đ« ButâŠrather- I could shift how I was reacting and begin responding instead. In my book, âA Parentâs Guide to Self-Regulationâ, I introduce âThe PCR Methodâ- which gives parents 3 different ways to consider and approach their own parenting triggers and toughest parenting moments. Itâs still the same method I use when I encounter my own parenting triggers (i.e. morning routines đŁ) and I believe it can be helpful for you too! THE PCR METHOD: Practical- What practical strategies can I put in place to help manage the challenge or triggers Iâm experiencing? Conscious- How can I become more conscious or self-aware of how the challenges or triggers are impacting me, and why? Realistic- How can I become to realistically and radically acceptance my challenges or triggers, especially if I canât change them? âA Parentâs Guide to Self-Regulationâ đđŸ is the hands-on, practical guide youâve been looking for.

You know you donât want your yell. You know you donât want to hit. You donât want to lose your patience. You know you want to be a gentle and calm space. You understand very well all the negative things that can happen if your children donât feel safe, heard, valued. You know how important it is for your kids to have healthy models for emotional regulation and expression. You know all the thingsâŠbut canât seem to do the things. Your thoughts and ideas want one thing but often, your feelings, actions and behaviors still havenât caught up. I understand firsthand how frustrating that space in-between can feel and I want you to feel encouraged that youâre on your way- but just need a little more support to get to the next step in your parenting journey. âA Parentâs Guide To Self-Regulationâ is the hands-on, practical guide youâve been looking for.
