About this video

Mom rage and dad rage are almost never about your kids. If you keep asking why am I so angry at my kids, the answer is unhealed pain from your own childhood coming out sideways, and it can be rewired at the root.

In this video, trauma recovery and relationship coach Kenny Weiss explains why you rage at your children, how to control your temper with your child by healing the real source instead of suppressing it, and how to make amends with your kids in a way that breaks the generational cycle.

Kenny walks you through his three proprietary frameworks: the Worst Day Cycle™ (Trauma, Fear, Shame, Denial), the Authentic Self Cycle™ (Truth, Responsibility, Healing, Forgiveness), and the six steps of the Emotional Authenticity Method™, including Feelization, the step that rewires the emotional blueprint at the root instead of managing symptoms.

Rage at your child is almost never about the child. Trauma recovery specialist Kenny Weiss teaches that parental rage is unhealed childhood pain expressed through displacement, a form of denial and self-deception that transfers anger onto a more helpless target.

Children have no emotional boundaries. Like a straw, they absorb the shame and rage their parents cannot regulate, which is why a parent's explosion sends the unspoken message: you are the problem. That message repeats down the family line until one parent heals it.

Kenny Weiss teaches parents to make amends instead of apologizing: own the mistake, tell your child their mistakes never warranted the reaction, and show them the plan. Making amends models that mistakes are okay and that your child is valuable and worthy when imperfect.

Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist, author of Your Journey to Success and Your Journey to Being Yourself, and creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, Authentic Self Cycle™, and Emotional Authenticity Method™. He helps high-functioning, emotionally exhausted adults break the repeating emotional patterns that therapy, mindset work, and communication tools never touched.
