You swore you'd parent differently. But so mehow\, you find yourself on Reddit parenting threads at 2am seeking reass urance that you&rsquo\;re not a terrible parent\, and you&rsquo\;ve Google d &ldquo\;Is it bad if I yelled at my child?&rdquo\; more times than you&r squo\;d like to admit. You&rsquo\;re tired of bouncing between contradicto ry advice\, hoping someone\, somewhere\, has the one &ldquo\;right&rdquo\; answer. \;

Parenting is hard. It&rsquo\;s even harder w
hen your nervous system feels stuck on high alert (or overdrive)\, your em
otions feel out of control\, and you&rsquo\;re worried that every move you
make will screw your kids up. From the author of Just Do Nothing: The Par
adoxical Guide to Getting Out of Your Way comes a version just for parents
. Because raising emotionally resilient kids starts with us. \;
J
oanna Hardis doesn&rsquo\;t just tell you to get comfortable being uncomfo
rtable\; she shows you how to do it with a science-backed\, refreshingly h
onest approach to becoming a more regulated parent who&rsquo\;s better cap
able of navigating discomfort by doing less\, not more. \; \;
Inside\, you&rsquo\;ll learn how to: \;
★ Pause i
nstead of pounce when your kid hits your last nerve. \;
★ I
ncrease your capacity to sit with discomfort and uncertainty. \;
★ Respond with intention instead of reactivity. \;
★
Accept difficult emotions and build your emotional resilience. \;
Not making already difficult situations even harder. \;
It&rsquo\;s not about eliminating distress. It&rsquo\;s about learning to
live with it in healthier ways. And while that may sound uncomfortable\,
it&rsquo\;s exactly the skill set you (and your kids) need. \;
