Sometimes, we don’t realize that in some ways, we are already leaving negative impacts on our kids which then causes generational negativity in the long run. If we don’t break the cycle, our kids are likely to pass on similar negative behaviors to others and their own children as they grow up. This can also leave negative impacts beyond childhood in different aspects of a kid’s life, may it be education, career, lifestyle, and more. That is why it is important for us parents to overcome negative thinking. This is a continuation of our discussion about our own negativity and how it badly affects our child’s success but in today’s episode, we’ll be focusing on how we could overcome negative thinking and be a better parent.

Parenting skills are influenced by many factors and one of these factors is how you were raised as a child.

When a child experiences dysregulation, their ability to regulate emotions, cope with stress, and maintain self-control can be compromised. Surely, most parents have asked themselves at some point, “Is my child’s anger normal?” What we need to do is to help them be more focused and calm, which is why we’re focusing on whether or not your child’s anger is considered normal or is it a clinical issue. We have to keep in mind, however, that these solutions are not going to be effective if we don’t show up constantly and if we don’t commit ourselves to it. Indeed, consistency is key.Mentioned in this episode:Get the FREE Self-Regulation Guide!Do you have a child who gets dysregulated at the drop of a hat, maybe they're cranky and moody and rigid and inflexible?
