Out of Survival Mode
A Development-First Framework for Raising Regulated Kids in a Dysregulated World by a Pediatric Occupational Therapist & Mom.
Raising Kids Doesn't Have to Feel So Stressful
There are reasons why so many families are stuck in survival mode. Not because parents aren’t trying. Parents are often doing what they have been taught to do. There are many factors affecting the way our brains are developing, which makes it difficult for us and our kids to find our way back to calm. If you are like me, you have asked:
- Why do I feel like I’m constantly on edge, even when nothing’s “wrong”?
- Why does my child fall apart over things that seem so small?
- Why does every simple request turn into a battle?
- Why do I lose it sometimes, even when I say I will do better?
- Why do the parenting tips I’ve tried only work temporarily or make things worse?
The behavior is the clue. It is likely a nervous system problem, yours and your child’s, and one you can actually learn to change.
What's Inside This course:
Multiple short video lessons across 8 modules, built to fit into any schedule
