The below originally appeared on Atomic Moms.

2x best-selling author Dr. Tina Payne Bryson discusses how we can show up for our kids even when they’re making it really hard for us, how we can stay regulated when sh*t hits the fan, how we can gage if we have a ‘secure attachment’ (and why that matters), and what to do when you find yourself in a pressure cooker situation and parenting for an audience.

We use Dr. Bryson’s latest book, co-authored with Dan Siegel: The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Get Wired (A Ballantine Hardcover, On-Sale January 7, 2020) as a jumping off point for our discussion and I can’t wait for you to take a listen!
