Learning how to stop yelling and to stay calm as a parent may come easier for some more than others. It wasn’t always easy for me as I raised twin girls who are both fiercely independent and stubborn.

Where’s the positive parenting handbook for twins that works for my life?

That’s right … there isn’t one.

And while I strongly believe that family wellness has to be a holistic experience of building rituals and routines that are personalized for YOUR life and family … I also know there are some universal truths to being calm.

That’s what I’m sharing here in this post on how to be a calm parent.

I’ve learned so many lessons on this topic in the last 13 years as a mother who wants to be positive and empowering — as well as strong and calm. I hope to pass a few on to other moms who are struggling to keep their cool.

In fact, it is my great wish that parents would read this blog and change the way they are parenting so that they, too, can be the calm they wish to see in the world — which is wholeheartedly why I created my Abundant Mama Reset Program.

Why You Should Focus on Being a Calm Parent

The No. 1 Reason women turn to me for family wellness coaching is because they see the damage they are doing to their lives by being so angry.

They are mothers and they want to love motherhood.

And so when they get angry and yell — or become Momzilla — they feel a tremendous amount of guilt and shame.

The truth is that it just doesn’t feel good to yell.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of helping many families implement family wellness strategies to bring a level of peace and calm to the whole family.

I’m sharing some ideas on how to be a calm parent because staying calm in the midst of a defiant child or a child who is melting down can be so incredibly hard and we need it fast.
