Why Every Child Is Wired Differently It’s not Dysfunction
Difference Is Not Dysfunction One of the most challenging—and misunderstood—parts of parenting is realizing that children do not respond to life in the same way.

Why Parents Must Learn to Regulate Their Own Energy First Parents are often told that their child’s behavior is the problem to solve.

When Regulation Is Modeled, Not Taught in Families
When Regulation Is Modeled, Not Taught Many parents are taught to believe that emotional regulation is something children must be taught through correction, explanation, or discipline. Yet regulation does not begin with instruction. It begins with experience. Children learn how to navigate emotions long before they understand them cognitively. They watch. They sense. They feel.
