Halloween can be magical… and also a lot! 👻

Between costumes, candy, crowds, and bedtime chaos- it’s easy for little (and big!) nervous systems to get spooked by all the excitement.

That’s why this Halloween, we’re focusing on regulation over perfection 🎃

You don’t have to hit every event or force the fun, the goal is to help your child (and yourself!) feel safe, connected, and able to enjoy the night!

Let’s make this Halloween less about meltdowns and more about memories. You’ve got this, parent, and your calm is the best costume you can wear!

We’ve been taught that the way to “fix” our kids’ behaviors is through spankings, stern tones, or tough consequences… but the science says otherwise!

Research shows that coregulation, not punishment, is one of the most powerful tools in parenting.

Coregulation isn’t just a behavioral strategy, it’s a biological process that begins before birth. When we stay calm and connected, our child’s nervous system learns to do the same.

Want to bring the magic of calm back into your parenting ❓❓ Here are a few ways to start coregulating today!

You don’t have to control your child to guide them, you can connect instead. ❤️

Did you know that trauma greatly impacts children’s behaviors? 💡

Your child is still learning and their reactions to trauma don’t always align with what we think we might see!

Checkout the graphic below to learn more about signs you might see in kids who have had trauma happen to them.

Here’s the truth: kids don’t always need a perfect parent - they need a regulated one.

Last week we shared tools to encourage good behavior in children. This week we’re turning the focus inward: How parents can regulate themselves when parenting gets hard 😓

Check out the graphic for simple, doable strategies you can try today.

Drop a ❤️ if you’ve ever needed a reminder to pause and breathe. Then share your go-to calm-down trick in the comments, we’re building a community toolbox together!

Want to know the secret to encouraging good behavior?? Stop waiting for your kids to “behave.” Catch them doing it! Praise it. Repeat it. Be specific, don’t just say “good job.” Tell them exactly what they did right like "I love the way you're sharing with your friend".

Your kids are watching everything you do, how you handle stress, solve problems, and how you stay calm. Regulate yourself, and you’ll teach them to regulate too!

Behavior change isn’t instant. Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. Stick with it. Checkout this video to learn more!
