Beyond the Outburst
If you match your child’s chaos with your own anger, you’ve just turned the heat up on a house that’s already burning. But if you can master the neurobiology of your own calm, you provide the 'External Regulator' your child’s developing brain desperately needs. Emotional Intelligence isn't about 'being soft'; it’s about having the Tactical Restraint to lead your family out of the fire instead of into it. And my guest is going to give us some language and strategy to do just that.
Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst. Dr. Vanderhorst is a psychologist and an expert in the science of human connection. She understands the 'Wiring of the Heart' and how a father’s ability to manage his own emotions is the single greatest predictor of his child’s future resilience.

In those moments, your biology is designed to respond. Your heart rate climbs, your jaw tightens, and your protector instinct flares up.
