Description

When your child’s behavior overwhelms you — whether it’s yelling, swearing, or melting down — it’s easy to feel like you’ve lost all control and have no idea what to do. In this episode, I share a powerful framework based on nervous system science to help you regulate your body in the hardest parenting moments. Learn the 3 things your nervous system needs to feel safe — context, choice, and connection — and how giving yourself these can help you respond instead of react. I also walk you through a real-life example and offer tools to return to calm and confidence, even when your child is at their most dysregulated.You can read the full article here: https://www.illuminateu.ca/blog/what-your-nervous-system-needs-when-your-child-is-triggering-you
