Parenting Emotional Dysregulation: Why Your Word for the Year Matters More Than Another Resolution

Season 2 Episode 62

As the year comes to a close, many parents find themselves exhausted by resolutions that promise change but add more pressure. If you’re parenting emotional dysregulation or big emotions, this episode offers a different way forward.

In this final episode of the year, we reflect honestly on the year behind us, walk through a gentle RESET framework, and explore how choosing a word for the year can guide your parenting with calm, clarity, and connection… without guilt or overwhelm.

This episode is an invitation to pause, release what no longer serves you, and step into the new year with intention instead of a heavier load of expectations.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why New Year’s resolutions often fail parents navigating parenting challenges
  • How reflecting on what worked (and what didn’t) can bring clarity instead of discouragement
  • A gentle RESET framework to help you move forward without pressure
  • How choosing a word for the year can anchor calm responses during hard moments
