The Link Between Your Childhood and Your Parenting
Summary
- Ask yourself: Why you yell?
- It’s not your childhood because of neuroscience and my husband’s childhood versus my childhood.
- My childhood involved my mother yelling most of the time.
- My husband had a childhood where no one yelled.
- With our different upbringings, we both yell as adults when we’re angry.
- We often have created a link between our childhood and how we parent today.
- We naturally create a cause and effect to help our brain function efficiently.
- You will have more success in stop yelling when you investigate the cause and effect relationship you have created about your yelling.
- You can tell you brain whatever story you want, tell it a story that serves you. That helps you move forward.
