My guest, Caley Kukla, empowers parents to understand children's behaviors through brain science and empathy by translating children's behavior into easy to follow steps in between translating brain science to practical tips for parents. Caley grounds her work in the most up-to-date neuropsychology, attachment therapy, and developmentally appropriate practices that value the parent-child relationship over compliance.

Listen in while we chat about:

• How do we help our child build emotional regulation?
• Building relational safety first, which builds into emotional safety, then regulation
• How can we handle big reactions that come with big feelings?
• How to take a pause when everything feels like an emergency
• The “Gentle No”
• How parents can keep their cool and not lose it on their kids
