Episode 12: Why Your Nervous System Actually Matters in Parenting
Manage episode 497202965 series 3640733
You’ve read the parenting books, tried the tools, maybe even printed out the charts, but still find yourself snapping, zoning out, or feeling overstimulated more often than you’d like. Sound familiar? In this episode of Parenting Through Connection, we’re diving into why the nervous system, not just your mindset or your parenting skills, is at the heart of how we show up with our kids. We’ll talk about how your body responds to stress, why that matters so much more than we’re often taught, and what it actually looks like to parent from a place of connection instead of survival.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
- Why your body’s stress response matters more than any parenting script.
- What nervous system regulation really looks like (hint: it’s not about being calm all the time.)
- How your kids borrow your nervous system and what true co-regulation means.
- Small shifts to bring you back to a grounded, connected state, even on hard days.
You don’t have to wait until everything’s perfect to feel better. Tiny moments of regulation add up. If this episode resonated, share it with a friend or check out my coaching and course resources on my website to go deeper, or send me a message. You’re doing better than you think!
