Jen Lumanlan holds a Masters in Psychology in Child Development and hosts the Your Parenting Mojo podcast, which is a reference guide for parents of children between the toddler and elementary years based on scientific research and the principles of respectful parenting. In each episode, she examines a topic related to parenting and child development from all sides to help parents understand how to make decisions about raising their children. She lives in California with her husband and daughter.
This is Jen’s second time on the show. She is back this time to talk about taming your triggers in parenting, which is a very timely topic, like every parent I know is feeling especially spread thin and beyond exhausted after enduring the last two years. We dig into the concept of parenting triggers and then Jen coaches me about a trigger that is very front and center in my own parenting journey right now. Please enjoy hearing me get uncomfortable! 
Listen in to hear Jen share:

Why you’re feeling triggered by your child's behavior

How your parenting triggers might be connected to your own “little t” traumas or “big T” traumas of your past

How your own trauma of unmet needs impacts your parenting

The “magic bullet” to help you manage guilt and shame in hard parenting moments

Coaching me through raising an extrovert who likes to be really loud all the time

Scripts you can use to navigate conversations with your child so you can both get your needs met in hard moments

The connection between our parenting and smashing the patriarchy

The value in practicing repairing your relationship with your child after having a hard moment
