Regulating Your Emotions As A Parent | Emotion Savvy Parenting | Alissa Jerud | #156

Parenting often feels like a sudden storm — calm one moment, chaotic the next. This post offers a practical path for parents: notice and name your emotions, pause instead of reacting, and use mindful tools (breathing, movement, self-care) to respond with clarity, not chaos. With the ART framework (Accept • Regulate • Tolerate), you build emotional agility — helping yourself stay sane and your children feel safe.
