Episode 16: The Anger Reset: Teaching Emotional Regulation by Modeling It First

Episode 16: The Anger Reset: Teaching Emotional Regulation by Modeling It First In this episode of Parenting Matters, we’re talking about the very real challenges of managing parental anger when kids are home more and routines feel different. We’ll explore why summer stress can push our patience to the limit, how to recognize our triggers before emotions take over, and practical strategies for responding with more calm and connection. You’ll learn how to create space for your own emotions, communicate boundaries without shame or blame, and model healthy ways of handling big feelings—so your children can learn those skills, too. If you’ve found yourself counting down the minutes until bedtime, feeling touched out, or wondering how to stay patient through the rest of summer, this episode offers encouragement and tools to help you reset. Because the goal isn’t perfect parenting—it’s building stronger relationships, one moment at a time. Connect with us: Website: earlychildhoodmatters...
