Reflective Parenting by Curious Neuron How to become an emotionally aware parent
Hello friend! In today's solo episode, I discuss what it means to be an emotionally aware parent.
We are having the Emotionally Aware Parent Challenge over at Wondergrade (I am the co-founder of this company). You can sign up with the link below:

Many parents tell me they easily snap at their kids or often feel their emotions go from 0-100. Working on our emotional awareness helps us recognize aspects of our environment that lead to strong emotions (both positive or negative/uncomforable).
I walk you through 2 questions you can ask yourself this week and 4 skills you can work on to become an emotionally aware parent.
Here are the resources I mention in today's episode:

If You’re Working on Staying Calm During Chaotic Parenting Moments…
This episode pairs beautifully with my course, Becoming a Reflective Parent, where we start with values and identity before diving into the 10 emotional skills parents were never taught — including stress management, emotion regulation, self-awareness, leadership, and conflict resolution.
If you snap easily, feel overwhelmed, or want to parent with more calm and confidence, this course was designed for you.
