I’m guessing that when you feel stressed you feel the same way I do… you want to throw all of your peaceful parenting techniques out the window.

When the pressure is high, you feel like you have fewer choices and no time to think, it’s natural to want to control your kids more.

Does peaceful parenting still work in times of stress? Or do we have to resort to other techniques?

How do we deal with our own stress so we get back on track with our kids?

We asked Dr. Laura Markahm these same questions. Dr. Markham is a Clinical Psychologist, Author, and Founder of Aha Parenting.

Listen to what she said here. It’s just 3 minutes long.
