Parenting on Purpose: Why Your Child’s Emotions Trigger You

Описание: Parenting isn’t just about raising children - it’s also about coming face to face with yourself.

In this episode of The Motherhood Clinic Podcast, parenting coach Shilpa joins us for an honest, thoughtful conversation about emotional triggers, boundaries, and what it really means to parent with intention.

We explore how children’s big emotions can surface unresolved feelings in parents, why modern parenting feels uniquely challenging, and how awareness - not perfection - is often the missing piece.

This isn’t about blame or “doing it right”. It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, for both you and your child.

✨ We explore:

Why children’s emotions feel so triggering to parents

How emotional awareness changes the way we parent

The idea of “growing together” rather than fixing behaviour

Boundaries, discipline, and responsibility - without shame

How parents can stay centred in emotionally charged moments

Parenting on purpose doesn’t mean getting it right every time.
It means noticing what’s happening, learning from it, and adjusting as you go.
