Why Your Nervous System Feels so Rattled When Your Kids Misbehave

Fresh Start Family Show

Tune in to this refreshingly real episode of the Fresh Start Family Show, where Wendy Snyder unpacks the rollercoaster of emotions parents often face when their kids start acting up. Just in time for the holiday hustle, Wendy digs into how holiday schedules, family gatherings, and heightened expectations can make even the calmest parents feel on edge. Wendy’s unique approach shines as she explains how our nervous systems, shaped by our own childhoods, can lead us to react (sometimes a little too strongly) when our kids test limits.

Get ready for an eye-opening chat about moving from reactive to responsive parenting! Wendy shares why understanding—and even healing—our nervous systems can be the key to compassionate discipline and lasting connection with our kids. Say goodbye to stress-fueled parenting and discover practical tools for a more peaceful, connected holiday season with the family.
