If you have ever thought,
“There has to be a better way than this,”
you are exactly who this book is for.

The Dysregulated Kid was written to take the pressure off parents who have been trying so hard and still feel like nothing is working.

It offers a clear, compassionate path forward for supporting kids who struggle with emotional dysregulation, without blame, shame, or endless trial and error.

This book is about understanding, not fixing.
Support, not control.
And giving families a way forward that actually feels doable.

Pre-orders are now open, with special bonuses available for a limited time.

So many parents are focused on changing behavior.
They try strategy after strategy, and nothing seems to last.

There is a simple reason this keeps happening.

Most parenting tools are introduced when a child is already overwhelmed, flooded, and no longer able to think clearly.

After reviewing more than 10,000 brain maps of children with emotional dysregulation, one thing is clear to me.

When the nervous system is dysregulated, a child cannot access self control.
They cannot process information.
They cannot respond the way we expect them to.

That understanding is what led me to write The Dysregulated Kid.

This book teaches parents how to support regulation first, so learning, listening, and behavior change can finally follow.

Valentine’s Day is a beautiful reminder of something I see every day in my work.

Love changes the brain.

Not perfect parenting. Not elaborate celebrations. But the steady, safe, consistent kind of love.

When you stay connected during big emotions, you are teaching your child’s nervous system what safety feels like. When you hold boundaries with calm, you are building resilience. When you choose connection over control, you are wiring emotional strength.

For over 30 years, I’ve watched this truth play out again and again.
Regulation grows in relationship.

So today, please remember that your patience, your presence, and your commitment to understanding your child are doing more than you think.

That is real love

If you believe connection is powerful, follow this space with heart.

This book has what most parenting advice is missing.

It has a clear explanation of emotional dysregulation that actually makes sense.
It has a step by step way to understand what is happening in your child’s brain and nervous system.
It has practical tools you can use in real life, not just in calm moments, but when things feel hard.

The Dysregulated Kid is not a list of tricks or consequences. It is a parenting playbook for families who are tired of guessing and ready for clarity.

Inside, you will learn why behaviors escalate so quickly, why traditional strategies often fail, and how to support your child in a way that builds regulation instead of more stress.

That is exactly why I wrote The Dysregulated Kid.

This book is for the parent who has tried everything and still feels stuck. It breaks down emotional dysregulation in a way that finally makes sense and gives you practical, doable steps to calm the brain and support real change.

Mood swings and the nervous system are more connected than most parents realize. If your child has explosive meltdowns, unpredictable reactions, or emotional shifts that make no sense, it’s not defiance—it’s dysregulation. In this episode, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge explains how mood swings and the nervous system work together, and why calming the brain first is the key to real, lasting change.

Can I tell you a secret.

This book almost did not happen.

Not because I did not believe in it, but because every chapter carried the weight of families who trusted me with their stories. I wanted to get it right. I wanted parents to finally feel seen, understood, and guided instead of blamed.

This book is about dysregulation. What it really is. Why it shows up as meltdowns, anxiety, impulsivity, and shutdowns. And what actually helps a child regulate and thrive.

On February 12, I am revealing the cover of the book I have been quietly working on for over a year. A book that pulls together brain science, real life parenting, and a roadmap parents have been asking me for.

If your child struggles and you are tired of guessing your next step, this reveal is for you.

Mark the date. February 12.

Something meaningful is coming.

Behavior is a signal, not the problem.
You cannot fix what you do not see.
Regulation comes before correction.

When we address what is below the surface, the behavior above the surface begins to change.

I have been holding something close to my heart for a long time.

For over a year, I have been writing, revising, rethinking, and rewriting a book inspired by the parents and children I work with every single day. The late night emails. The desperate questions. The quiet moments when a parent finally realizes their child is not broken. They are dysregulated.

This book was not born from theory. It was born from real kids melting down in real kitchens. From parents exhausted by behavior charts, consequences, and advice that never touched the nervous system.

On February 12, in the middle of my Parenting Lifeline Series, I am finally revealing the cover of this book.

And yes, the cover matters. Because it represents a completely different way of seeing your child.

If you have ever wondered why nothing seems to work long term. If you have felt deep down that there has to be a better explanation than another label or pill. This book was written for you.

Stay close. This reveal is just the beginning.

Pause for a moment. Take a sip of whatever is in your cup. Breathe.

On February 9, I am opening up one of my favorite spaces for parents. My Coffee Chat.

This is not a webinar. There are no slides. No pressure to sound polished or have everything figured out.

It is a small table. About 15 moms. Coffee that may or may not still be warm. Honest conversations about emotional dysregulation, impulsive behavior, parenting exhaustion, and what children actually need to regulate, connect, and thrive.

We talk about the real-life moments happening behind closed doors. We talk about nervous systems. We talk about what is not working and what actually does. And you get science-backed guidance that makes sense in real homes with real kids.

You can listen quietly or ask the questions you have been carrying around in your head. Either way, you will not feel alone.

If you are parenting a child who struggles and you are tired of holding it all together, this space is for you.

☕ Coffee Chat
🗓 February 9
🕛 12 PM ET
👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 Small, supportive group
🧠 Expert guidance and real conversation
