My Teen is in a bad mood #shorts

Why does my nervous system react the same way to my teen’s bad mood as it would to a saber-tooth tiger chasing me?! If you’ve ever felt this, you’re not alone! Our amygdala doesn’t always distinguish between actual danger and the emotional rollercoaster of parenting a teen. And let’s be real, when they’re storming through the house like a hurricane, our stress levels definitely take a hit! I love this trend because I literally talk about this in Chapter 1 of 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘴 𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘈𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨! Our kids’ emotions impact us in powerful ways, and learning how to regulate ourselves is just as important as guiding them through their big feelings. Do you think there’s truth to the saying, “you’re only as happy as your unhappiest child”? Let’s talk about it!
