Parenting Through Trauma Without Losing Yourself: Peter Mutabazi

Why do your kids trigger reactions you swore you'd never repeat? On FamilyLife Today, Dave and Ann Wilson welcome back Peter Mutabazi for a truthful conversation about parenting wounds, trauma, and staying calm when emotions explode. Peter shares practical wisdom from raising more than 40 foster children—including why safety, listening, and yeah, even ice cream sometimes matter more than lectures when kids are melting down.
