Parent-Child Emotional Regulation
It breaks my heart when parents confide in me about losing patience with their children and screaming at them, not realising that they need to learn to self-regulate their own emotions before they can teach their children to do the same.
We need to understand the neurology of a child's brain to understand this. Children don't learn by doing what they're told, they learn by modeling what they observe. A child cannot model calm behaviour while observing the parent doing the opposite.
So if you find yourself screaming at your child out of frustration, please focus on learning how to regulate your emotions first. You cannot skip this step if you want your child to learn to regulate their emotions later.
