Why is self-regulation important for parents?
If parents have self-regulation, they are going to be in a better position to manage their stress.
They have greater self-awareness so they will be in a position to understand their own strengths and limitations.
If we know our own limitations, that is a strength, we know when to reach out for help!
With better self-regulation, we can live a much better life, we are typically happier, we are more likely to have better health, and live longer.
These are just a few nuggets of wisdom from Dr. Jerrod's interview. Grab a cup of coffee (and a pen and notebook) and get ready to learn. Bonus: I asked Dr. Jerrod how we apply these principles during the holiday season to avoid being stressed (in survival mode)!
