Do you ever feel on edge, wired but tired, or just not quite right, even though you’re doing all the right things?
I’m excited to have Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge back on the show today to clarify what this means for you and your kids.
Stay tuned to find out what it means to be emotionally regulated.
Tips for regulating your nervous system:
- Do “micro resets” throughout the day
- Make nervous system regulation part of your normal routine instead of doing it only when you are overwhelmed
- Choose pleasant and manageable regulation activities to avoid making regulation a chore
- Focus on consistency to keep your nervous system from returning to the same stressed baseline
- Regulate yourself first when your child becomes dysregulated
