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.

\n

Parenting is hard. It&rsquo\;s even harder when your nerv ous system feels stuck on high alert (or overdrive)\, your emotions feel o ut of control\, and you&rsquo\;re worried that every move you make will sc rew your kids up. From the author of Just Do Nothing: The Paradoxical Guide to Getting Out of Your Way comes a version just for parents. Be cause raising emotionally resilient kids starts with us.

\n

Joanna Ha rdis doesn&rsquo\;t just tell you to get comfortable being uncomfortable\; she shows you how to do it with a science-backed\, refreshingly honest ap proach to becoming a more regulated parent who&rsquo\;s better capable of navigating discomfort by doing less\, not more.

\n

Inside\, you&rsquo \;ll learn how to:
★ Pause instead of pouncing when your kid hi ts your last nerve.
★ Increase your capacity to sit with discom fort and uncertainty.
★ Respond with intention instead of react ivity.
★ Accept difficult emotions and build your emotional res ilience.

\n

Not making difficult situations even harder.

\n

It&r squo\;s not about eliminating distress. It&rsquo\;s about learning to live with it in healthier ways. And while that may sound uncomfortable\, it&rs quo\;s exactly the skill set you (and your kids) need.

\n
