Your child refuses. You repeat the request… louder. They yell. You threaten. They slam the door. Your body tightens. You feel angry. That little voice says: I’m failing. This is the spiral. And every parent has been here. In those moments, control feels like the only option. If they’d just comply… Right? But here’s the truth: control may bring short-term obedience, but it rarely builds long-term trust. The real shift isn’t in what you say next. It's in what you check inside.
Have you ever reacted to your child in a way that went against your values, and wondered, “Why did I do that?” It’s not because you’re failing. When our nervous system goes into fight, flight, or freeze, the part of our brain that holds empathy and choice goes offline. Survival takes over. That’s why change isn’t about “trying harder.” It’s about learning to anchor ourselves when we’re triggered so we can return to presence and model regulation for our kids.
