Episode When Our Nervous Systems Hijack Our Parenting
If you’ve yelled at your kid, you’re not a bad parent. You’re a good parent with an overwhelmed nervous system. Today, Dr. Becky breaks down the science behind yelling, snapping, and shutting down. She explains why our bodies react before our brains can catch up - and how understanding this will help you pause, reset, and reconnect.
