Ep 30 - Brain Based Parenting Chapter 3: Stressed Out Parenting

If I threw 100 tennis balls at you all at once, how many would you catch?  I know that we would like to think we could catch at least 1 or 2, but in reality, the answer is none...in fact, I think I would turn around and just let all of the pummel me in the back.  So, stress, can be adaptive, if we have the resources to manage it, but when the stress is too great, we go into survival.  When this happens as a parent, it can feel very confusing, because everything just keeps going wrong and anything anyone says seems hurtful and it feels like you aren't a good parent or maybe you may perceive it as, your child is not a good kid.

These are all of the things discussed in this book chapter that Christine summarizes in this episode.  Hang out until the last 5 minutes to get information about a free download of a Calm Down Cube.
