Stop Focusing on the Behavior. Listen to the Nervous System.
Parents don't need more shame.
They need to understand the biology.
It's easy to immediately think:
"What am I doing wrong?"
Or:
"What's wrong with this behavior?"
But understanding emotional dysregulation in children gives us a different question:
"What is the nervous system telling us?"
Is your child overloaded?
Running on empty?
Experiencing a stress response in children?
Unable to access the skills you're asking for?
For a dysregulated child, those questions matter because behavior doesn't happen separately from the nervous system.
The behavior may be what gets your attention.
But the nervous system gives you clues about where to start.
