In this episode, we discuss a question many parents and educators share: how do I handle it when the teen in front of me is just absolutely losing their you-know-what in front of me? We've all been there: the teen or pre-teen in front of us is realy upset, crying or yelling, and we're wondering "well now what do I do?" Shahin has faced this experience directly herself as a parent, and coached many parents on how to approach it as a mindfulness teacher, and she shares tips today on how to navigate those emotionally fraught moments without regrets. Stay tuned for a particular tip she gives in the latter third of the episode on what to do with the 90 seconds it takes for an emotion to move through your body--it's one I (Becca) hadn't heard before, even though I've practiced meditation for decades, and I've tried it since recording this conversation and really found it helpful.You can find out more about Shahin and the resources she references in this episode at mindful-changes.com, where you can also find her links to her socials and to free resources.
