How can parents master self-regulation to become better role models for their children? In this episode of the Whinypaluza Podcast, host Rebecca Greene sits down with Dr. Amber Thornton, a licensed clinical psychologist and author of A Parent's Guide to Self-Regulation. Dr. Thornton shares her personal journey of overcoming dysregulation as a parent, and she unveils her unique PCR (Practical, Conscious, Realistic) method to help parents manage their emotions effectively. Together, they explore how self-regulation in parenting can lead to healthier family dynamics and model emotional intelligence for children. Key Takeaways: Understanding Dysregulation: Dr. Thornton explains dysregulation as moments of emotional imbalance that parents and children alike can experience. Introducing the PCR Method: The three-part PCR framework includes practical steps for identifying and managing triggers, exploring underlying emotional issues, and embracing imperfection. Practical Skills for Daily Life: Dr. Thornton suggests small adjustments, such as morning routines and shared responsibilities, to reduce daily stress. Modeling Self-Regulation for Children: Practicing regulation openly allows children to learn by example, fostering emotional awareness. Community and Support: Finding a supportive community empowers parents to redefine traditional expectations and embrace non-traditional approaches to motherhood.
