Every parent wishes to treat their child as the important little, or big, human they are.
But gosh-darn-it, we also have moments when both of us have gone from zero to 60 in a snap. And that feels terrible.
This article is devoted to you – the parent who cares about growing and strives to show up just a little bit better. [If you’re a clinician, please share with a parent you care about!]
Here are 3 simple, graceful ways to better navigate your own feelings and stay in a positive relationship with your child, even in the intensity.

Life goes fast with kids. There are tough moments but there can be fun and lovely moments, too.
If you need help infusing a bit of peace, trust, laughter and happiness in your home, I hope one of these videos is useful!
With love,
