517. Coaching Hotline: Isn't Yelling at My Kids Messing Them Up?
About this episode
This episode addresses concerns about yelling at children and the impact on parenting, emphasizing personal growth and emotional regulation.
Do you ever get stuck in the cycle of losing your temper with your kids, then immediately judging yourself as a terrible parent? This week, I answer a Coaching Hotline question from a listener who is worried that yelling is damaging her children. You'll hear why shame makes it harder to change, how to separate a behavior from your identity, and why seeing this as a skills gap instead of a character flaw gives you the ability to actually grow.
