Reflective Parenting Podcast by Curious Neuron You donāt snap at your kids because youāre a bad parent. You snap because your stress builds faster than your awareness, and no one ever taught you how to handle that.Iām Dr. Cindy Hovington, a mom of three with a doctorate in neuroscience and founder of Curious Neuron. I created The Reflective Parenting Podcast for parents who care deeply, know a lot, and still find themselves overwhelmed in the real moments.This is not a podcast where I tell you how to be a perfect parent. Iām in it with you.Each week, I invite you into my own reflections:what Iām learning from scientific articles and books,what Iām noticing in my nervous system and emotions,and what real parents and experts teach me in conversation.Together, we get curious about why we snap, shut down, or over-function in conflict, and whatās actually happening in our brain and body when we do. We talk about stress, shame, repair, boundaries, playfulness, and the quiet moments no one seesāso you can start to recognize your patterns and gently shift them.By listening, youāll learn to:notice your stress and body signals earlier,understand the lenses and stories that intensify hard moments,regulate your nervous system when parenting feels like ātoo muchā,and handle conflict with more calm, clarity, and repair.But more than that, youāll have a companion in the work.Iāll share where I struggle, what Iām practicing, and how Iām trying to grow, so you donāt feel like the only parent who finds this hard.If youāre ready to move away from āperfectā parenting and toward reflective parentingāwhere every tough moment becomes data, not failureāpull up a chair. Letās learn, feel, and grow together.Find out which book I will be covering next month:https://curiousneuron.com/podcast/ Join the private group on Facebook:www.facebook.com/groups/reflectiveparentingpodcast/Start training your emotional awareness for FREE:https://tremendous-hustler-7333.kit.com/84371dc0b2Purchase my course The Emotionally Aware Parent.https://curiousneuron.com/reflective-parent-club/Follow us on Instagram @drcindyhovington or Facebook @curiousneuronparenting
