A Different View

This episode talks through the science and practical steps of a young boy who has difficulty controlling his anger, even though he's remorseful for his behavior.

We're patnering with the Soothing Snuggler to do a give away!! Keep an eye on our social media next week!

This episode builds on previous episodes (here and here) that cover basic brain development.  It's important to remember that in a stress response, the parts of the brain that are responsible for learning are not online.

1. Get the lid closed through coregulation
2. You as the adult have to be in a regulated place
3. All of our responses have to communicate safety. If we still send cues of danger, their system will not allow them to become regulated.
4. Include your child in the response - what happened? What did you tell yourself? What do you want us to do differently? How can we help you?
5. Focus on building interoception and skills

Punishment does not change the nervous system into feeling safe.

Why do we automatically think the worst of our kids? Instead of seeing them as bad, naughty, disobedient, why can't we see them as having a hard time, needing help, or struggling?

Behavior is a developmental process, just like walking, talking, and reading. Struggling with behavior should be met with them same encouragement and grace.
