Dysregulation to me sounds like when you can't focus and you're not in control of yourself and something else is in control of you and you can't handle anything well. You're not focused.

Today we’re going to discuss how to support your kids when you’re going through a difficult time. Maybe it’s a traumatic time. Remember, trauma is not about the event, it’s about how we interpret and experience the event. We can go through the same event and one of us feels like it was traumatic and the other feels like it was not.

Today’s conversation focuses on how to deal with the stress of parenting, and how to teach children to be truly happy. Co-regulation is necessary for kids before we can expect self regulation. We come alongside our kids to help them emotionally regulate so they know how to manage their emotions. Parenting is stress inducing! It’s a hard job. Some say it’s a thankless job, but seeing my children grow up, be empathetic, love people well, and add beauty to the planet feels like a big applause.
