#12. Raising Emotionally Resilient Kids: A Parent's Journey

Episode #12: In this episode of The Parenting Experience, TATA discusses the complexities of raising emotionally resilient children. She emphasizes the importance of understanding and managing one's own emotions as a parent, especially in the face of children's tantrums and emotional outbursts. TATA highlights that tantrums are a natural part of development and not a sign of failure. She advocates for the significance of presence, connection, and gentle guidance in fostering resilience in children, while also acknowledging the challenges parents face in this journey. Chapters: 00:00 Navigating Emotional Resilience in Parenting 06:58 Understanding Tantrums and Emotional Development 14:02 The Role of Presence and Connection in Resilience Takeaways: One of the hardest parts of parenting is managing your own emotions. Tantrums are not disrespect; they're unfinished brain work. Resilience is built in safe conflict, not comfort. Your child having big emotions means you're raising a human. Gentleness is a strength under control. Staying calm in the storm shapes a child's brain. Sometimes the most powerful words are, I see you. We are parenting and re-parenting all at the same time. Resilience isn't about toughness; it is about safety. Your child's safest thing is you. You can also find us on Instagram, TikTok & YouTube @theparentingexperience
