004: How to Stop Yelling at your Kids // Ralphie Jacobs of Simply on Purpose

“The prerequisite to all other parenting principles is to be in control of yourself as the parent. And this is the major struggle for parents. They feel like they are standing on the sidelines helpless, and their children are running rompus around them and all over them…But this can easily be changed. We should not feel like victims in our own households. We can find joy and delight in working in our own homes.”

Ralphie Jacobs is a mother to four girls, ages 3-14, and the founder of the popular Instagram account @simplyonpurpose. Her account has experienced incredible growth from when it started just a year ago because so many mothers are thirsting for her wise, compassionate, and positive parenting advice.

It was an honor to have her on the show, and in this episode she will teach us how to stop yelling at our kids by being in control of ourselves. But how do we do that, especially in the moment when anger is building? Ralphie explains how we must:

  1. Listen to the right story
  2. Use time to our advantage
  3. Model being happy

Listen in as Ralphie and I dive into these principles a little more deeply and give practical advice of how to apply them in your home.

As always, I would love to hear from you! Let me know in the comments which strategies stay with you the most and what works with your children.
