Ever feel like your child knows exactly how to push your buttons? You’re not alone! In this episode, I’m joined by parenting expert and author Bonnie Harris, whose groundbreaking book When Kids Push Our Buttons and What We Can Do About It has transformed the way parents understand their emotional triggers.

We dive deep into:
✅ Why kids' behaviour triggers us—and how it’s often rooted in our own childhood experiences.
✅ How to reframe our thoughts and reactions to build connection rather than conflict.
✅ The key to handling meltdowns, big emotions, and power struggles without losing your cool.
✅ Practical strategies for shifting from blame to understanding—and transforming family dynamics.

This conversation is packed with insights that will help you respond to your child with more patience, empathy, and confidence.
