Hello QDT listeners, If you are a parent who prioritizes not only your parent-child relationship, but also your child’s emotional well-being within that relationship, your ability to hold space for your child’s biggest feelings—to show acceptance even when they’re at their worst—is simultaneously one of the most important things you can do as a parent and the hardest. Your ability to provide that kind of calm, non-judgemental, and compassionate external emotional regulation is a crucial part of how your child develops internal emotional regulation. But here’s the thing—you’re going to have a really hard time providing that co-regulation if your own emotional regulation skills are shaky. One of the most common questions Dr. Coor is asked by parents is: “How do I control my own emotions, so I’m not flying off the handle at my kids so much?” There’s no one answer. Making sure you’re getting enough sleep, exercise, healthy foods, nourishing interpersonal connection, and taking part in activities that bring you joy are some immediate ways to keep your internal batteries charged and give you more capacity for the rigors of parenting. But this week's episode of Project Parenthood, Dr. Coor is talking about how self-compassion and the ways that being patient, accepting, and caring toward yourself can help you do the same for your child. You can listen to the episode here or read a transcript here.
