Description
Parenting teen girls can bring up big emotions, for them and for us. In this episode, Dr. Kimberly Palmiotto explores why conflict with our daughters can activate our nervous system so quickly and how a simple but powerful tool can change everything.
Instead of reacting in the heat of the moment, learning to pause allows our brain to regulate, our voice to return to clarity, and our relationship with our daughter to stay intact.
You’ll learn why pausing isn’t weakness, how it helps bring your thinking brain back online, and a simple three-breath tool you can use in real-time during tense parenting moments.
