[First Name],
Just a few short years ago, when my kids would fight, it would send me through the roof.
I hated hearing them fight. It felt like it was all the time, like they were never going to figure it out, and like it was completely out of my control.
There was yelling, tears, guilt and shaming…from my kids too.
If this sounds like you please know that all of the thoughts I just mentioned above are just thoughts. THey are not facts. It's not true that they are fighting all the time, that they will never figure it out, and that it's completely out of your control.
Those thoughts just feel so true that you believe them.
Which is what's keeping you stuck instead of getting into creative problem solving mode.
In today's episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast I'm going to shed some light on what's actually going on, why your kids fighting feels so rotten, why it feels out of control, and give you some practical things to try the next time your kids fight.
Listen, mama, your kids will always have something to argue about, but it doesn't have to send you into a panicked, fight or flight state anymore.
Do my kids still fight? You betcha.
But it's no longer an emotionally devastating experience for me. And it doesn't have to be for you, either.
