#245 - Parenting Through Triggers; When Your Kids Act Like Your Spouse
Have an episode suggestion? Text us!
When your child’s tone, excuses, or sneaky moments feel eerily familiar, it can trigger real fear - are we replaying my partner’s behaviors? In this episode, we unpack the difference between normal child development and harmful adult patterns. We dig into nature vs. nurture (genes load the gun; environment pulls the trigger), why kids’ emotional immaturity is expected while adult immaturity is damaging, and how to respond without projecting old wounds onto your child.
You’ll learn simple, repeatable tools: name the trigger (“I’m reacting to my spouse, not my kid”), pause before correcting, teach emotional language, model repair and accountability, hold consistent boundaries, and spot the red flags that deserve closer attention. We’ll also share how one stable, nurturing parent can shift a child’s trajectory - and why your day-to-day modeling matters more than DNA.
