Today, we’re diving into a topic that every parent can relate to—those moments when you find yourself reacting to your kids in ways that you wish you hadn’t. You know the ones: when the cereal spills, tempers flare, and you suddenly hear yourself snapping in a way that doesn't quite match the loving parent you strive to be. But what if there was a way to take control of those reactions, to respond in a way that aligns with your values and the kind of parent you want to be? That’s what we’re talking about today: the difference between bottom-up and top-down responses. These are the two ways our brains handle the chaos of parenting—and understanding them could be the key to more calm, more connection, and fewer regrets. In this episode, we’ll break down what it means to respond from the bottom up versus the top down, how to recognize when you’re in each mode, and—most importantly—how to train yourself to switch gears and even collaborate with yourself when you need it most. Whether you’re knee-deep in the morning rush or navigating the emotional rollercoaster of toddlerhood, these insights will help you steer the ship with more intention and less stress.
So, let’s get started on this journey to more mindful parenting and discover how to respond to life’s challenges with the thoughtfulness and grace we all aspire to—at least most of the time!"
