In the latest episode, we are are going over parenting tools to be a better parent. I’m talking to reactive parents who are looking for a better way to navigate their day. My 4-step process PARR (pause, acknowledge, respond, reflect) is what I taught myself and ultimately other parents to move from reactive to responsive. I share personal examples and use this minisode to highlight the important aspects to PARR.

What I cover on the parenting tools to be a better parent

• The importance of recognizing why you’re reactive
• Identifying your triggers will help you to stay calm
• The first step of PARR, pausing, will look different depending on the phase of parenting you’re in
• How to decide the best way to pause
• Pausing and then acknowledging your state will shift the way you respond
• Reflecting is critical and you want to do it when you’ve had time away from the event
• PARR is effective with all communication partners not just your kids
• It can help you to become a better listener and more thoughtful in the way you show up not just for your kids but others
