Repair Your Parenting with Accountability
Emotions and triggers often drive parental reactions, leading to feelings of being out of control. Adults sometimes resort to shutting down children's feelings as a protective mechanism. However, it is crucial to recognize when these moments arise and to understand that it's not a child's responsibility to regulate an adult's emotions. Acknowledging missteps in parenting, such as yelling, and taking the time to apologize and repair the relationship fosters a healthier environment. Parents must commit to self-reflection and improvement to model emotional accountability for their children.
