**You're the Role Model **

As parents, we are the role models for our children, shaping their brains through our interactions. Children are born with incomplete neural systems, and their brain development is influenced by their interactions with us. When we demonstrate the ability to stay calm and regulate our emotions, our children learn valuable skills. They learn that situations are not emergencies, how to communicate effectively, and how to calm themselves down. Our ability to self-regulate can have a significant impact on shaping our child's character and behavior.
