Description: Why can the child who is most like you also be the one who pushes your buttons the fastest? Maybe their anxiety, sensitivity, stubbornness, big emotions, or need for control feels painfully familiar. Without realizing it, parents can begin reacting to their own past instead of responding to the child in front of them. In this episode of The Art of Raising Humans, Kyle and Sara explore why familiar traits can feel so triggering and how parents can interrupt old patterns without blaming themselves or trying to fix their child. They share a brain based, relationship first way to grow in awareness, regulate in the hard moments, and give your child the safety and guidance you may have needed too. In this conversation, you’ll learn:Why your child’s behavior can activate old fears, memories, and pressureHow to notice when you are parenting from a trigger instead of the present momentWhy understanding yourself helps you respond to your child with more calm and connectionHow to break unhealthy family patterns while still setting clear, confident limits Your child does not need a perfect parent. They need a parent willing to pause, get curious, and choose a new path. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/when-your-child-is-just-like-you-how-to-stop-repeating-old-patterns Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.
