"I Can’t Believe I Just Said/Did That!" Breaking the Cycle: How Our Upbringing Shapes Stress, Anger, and Parenting Reactions

  • Course

Today’s parents are navigating a world far more stressful than the one they grew up in—yet many never learned healthy ways to manage stress and anger. While many strive to parent differently than their own parents, simply doing the opposite isn’t always effective. 

In this webinar, we’ll explore common stressors facing today’s parents and how childhood experiences shape our responses to stress and conflict. You’ll gain practical tools to prevent and reduce stress, reprogram emotional triggers, and stay cool, calm, and collected in parenting challenges. Learn how to respond with healthy communication and break the cycle for the next generation.

Learning Objectives

Attend this Webinar to

  • Identify how your upbringing influences your stress and anger responses in parenting. 

  • Understand the impact of unprocessed childhood experiences on your reactions. 

  • Prevent or stop anger reactions, self-regulate, and know how to co-regulate with your children and teach them healthy coping skills.
