TW: This episode contains a story of a dog being injured. If that is triggering for you, you may want to skip this one. 

If you want your child to be a well regulated adult, one of the most important things you can do for them is to teach them how to close their stress cycles. In this episode, Lindsay talks about how to achieve this and shares a personal story about how she helped her children through a stress cycle. 

Paige and Lindsay dive into Q&A's from the community. Topics include stories of how we (the therapists) have definitely lost our cool, how to begin building emotional awareness for ourselves and our kids, parenting kids with a "short fuse", helping kids overcome insecurity, and what to do when you feel disconnected from your teen. 

Don't forget to snag our "Check Yo'self Before You Wreck Yo'self" workshop to better understand how to identify your triggers and begin building emotional awareness for yourself and your kids. Link can be found here: https://www.lindsadamslcsw.com/workshops/check-yo-self-before-you-wreck-yo-self

Lindsay takes a deep dive into the question that she gets asked the most on Tik Tok.. "How do I figure out the need behind my child's behavior?" She shares three areas you can explore and make tweaks so that you are meeting your child's needs and addressing unsavory behaviors.  This episode was inspired by a post from the Child Institute of Psychology. 

Summer is coming in HOT! And that's no joke. We're moving into the season where parents become full-time entertainers and the days of focused work are gone. For me, summer season is accompanied by excitement, sleeping in, eating all the ice cream, and memorable family adventures. The other part of summer is knowing that, as much as you love your sticky-fingered mess makers, the unadulterated quality time + energy you’re going to be putting into making summer magic means there’s a lot less time + energy to maintaining your sanity. I’m here to help you keep summer from stealing your sanity while still creating the magic you hope for while being the intentional, incredible, SANE parent that I know you are. 

Takeaways, DO let your kids be bored, DO prioritize quality over quantity, and DON'T get caught up in the "Should's" of summer.

TW: School Shooting.

Emotions and high, and rightfully so, in the wake of the UValde, TX school shooting. As parents and humans, we want you to know that your responses are normal and justified. Lindsay shares ways to talk to your kids about school shootings and how to hold space for their experiences. Paige shares information to explain your reaction to the event, why it's normal, and how to support yourself as a parent and human in the wake of this tragedy. 

In this episode, Lindsay talks about the worst kind of tantrum, the PUBLIC MELTDOWN. She shares why they are the worst, what we can do about it, and how we can show up for our kids in a way that supports their emotional needs. Major takeaways from this episode include:

*How to de escalate yourself

*Common triggers for public meltdowns and how you can address them

You've lost it, now what? In this episode, Lindsay breaks down Repair after Rupture. Repairing after rupture is basically a formula for repairing your relationship with your child after there has been a conflict or disconnect. Repairing can teach our child so many things (reminding yourself of the lessons it teaches can be so helpful when we are caught in the shame cycle). It models conflict resolution skills, and accountability. Most importantly it shows our child that because we aren’t perfect it means that they don’t need to perfect.
