The Fight Response in Parenting – 367

Description

If you’ve ever raised your voice and instantly regretted it, felt your whole body tense when your child ignored your request, or snapped at your child for something seemingly small, chances are you've felt the fight response in action.


Those moments can leave you questioning yourself as a mom, when in reality, your nervous system is simply trying to protect you.


Building on last week’s overview of the nervous system, part two of my From Protection to Connection series dives into what the fight response actually looks like in parenting. Spoiler: it’s not just the big blow-ups. 


By the end, you’ll be able to recognize fight patterns for what they are – automatic responses in your body, not a personal failing.


That awareness alone can give you the space to respond with more calm and connection in the future.
