Happy Thanksgiving, 💜

Today I’m extra grateful for this community of parents who show up for their kids every single day, even when it’s hard, messy, or overwhelming.

You are raising emotionally sensitive, bright, beautifully unique children in a world that doesn’t always understand them… and you’re doing it with so much love and patience. That matters. It really does.

I hope today brings you a moment of calm, a deep breath, and a reminder that you are not alone on this journey. Your child’s brain can change, healing is possible, and you are doing better than you think.

Wishing you and your family a peaceful, cozy Thanksgiving. 💜

With love,

In this video, we uncover the hidden signs of emotional dysregulation in tweens and teens so you can spot nervous system distress before the emotional blow-up happens. Parenting a tween or teen who swings from calm to chaos in seconds is exhausting—and it often leaves you wondering what’s really going on beneath the behavior. When you understand the clues, you can regulate first, connect next, and finally guide your child back to calm.

Cranky or Defiant? Read Your Child’s Nervous System Clues

Cranky kids? Talking back? It’s not just attitude.... it’s their nervous system signaling stress. This is often an expression of emotional dysregulation in children and a call for nervous system regulation.

✅ Step 1: Learn to read the cue, tense shoulders, quick breathing, fidgeting.
✅ Step 2: Pause. Don’t react.
✅ Step 3: Guide them back to regulation.

When you shift your focus from their behavior to their nervous system, everything changes. You stop arguing and start connecting.

Why Kids Use Avoidance to Manage Anxiety

Ever notice your child avoids things that make them anxious? 😰 Could their “no” actually be a coping mechanism to manage anxiety rather than defiance?

This avoidance is a learned survival strategy, and a major sign of emotional challenges in children. The key is moving past the surface behavior to focus on anxiety awareness and building emotional regulation.

Helping your anxious child without power struggles:
Pause and notice the anxiety, not just the behavior.
Validate their feelings: “I see this feels scary.”
Co-regulate first — calm yourself, then guide them.
Gradually expose them to the situation with gentle support.
Tip for parents: Avoidance isn’t laziness—it’s a learned survival strategy. Patience helps break the cycle.

When Kids Say ‘No,’ It’s a Stress Response, Not Defiance

Ever wonder why your child refuses to do one more thing… even when it seems small? 🤔 Could it be that they’re just too activated to respond calmly?

When your child says “No”, it’s not rebellion, it’s stress. This stress response is often rooted in emotional dysregulation in children and is a key part of understanding child emotions. As a parent, recognizing this as an opportunity for nervous system regulation is crucial:
Pause — notice their activation level before reacting.
Don’t push — adding demands escalates stress.
Offer calm support — model regulation so they can follow.
Tip for parents: Understanding their stressors first helps you respond effectively, instead of getting frustrated.
