When Your Child’s Behavior Triggers Something Deeper

Welcome back to the We Nurture Podcast!In this solo episode, I explore what happens when our children’s behavior brings up unresolved feelings from our own childhoods and how those moments can be powerful invitations to parent with more awareness and intention.If you’ve ever found yourself reacting more strongly than you'd like, or defaulting to control when you feel overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Often, these responses are rooted in our own past—how we were spoken to, disciplined, or supported as children. When we begin to notice the patterns we’ve inherited, we create space for something new to emerge.In this episode, I guide you through gentle reflections and mindset shifts to help you:Understand why your child’s behavior can feel so triggeringRecognize when you're reacting from your past instead of the present momentBreak the cycle of control and step into more connected, conscious parentingMake space to reparent yourself with compassion as you show up for your childCreate new, nurturing patterns that support both you and your childThis episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired to bring more presence and self-understanding into your parenting, especially on the hardest days.Pre-order my new children's book, Away to DreamlandOrder my new book, The Little Book of ParentingSubscribe to our weekly newsletter, The We Nurture JournalDISCLAIMER: The content shared in this podcast and on this website is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
