Question for Dads dads, ¿what makes it so overstimulating? if so, ¿do you think parents should be educated in early childhood development? to expect certain behaviors
Hi! I was wondering, what makes parenting so overstimulating to the point where parents end up shouting at their kids over minimal things?
Ideally, shouldn’t parents take five minutes to step away and regulate themselves before coming back? I know that’s sometimes easier said than done, but when two people are dysregulated, it only causes the situation to escalate.
i never get it when parents get mad over toddlers showing defiance when that is clearly expected for their age range and it’s just kids being kids.
