6 | Have Your Fears Become Reality? Why Moms of Strong-willed and Neurodivergent Need Kids Need Emotional Regulation

Parenting Beyond Meltdowns is ranked in the Top 3% of podcasts globally!  As a mama of an ASD, ADHD, ODD, or PDA child have you ever caught yourself speaking your fears out loud—only to watch them unfold in your child’s life? I’ve been there. In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story of how my own unregulated emotions and words began shaping mine and my child’s reality—and why regulating ourselves as moms matters so much.

You’ll hear:

• Why your fears don’t have to become your child’s identity

• How a dysregulated nervous system in you can spark dysregulation in them

• Why words have power—biblically, emotionally, and neurologically

• Practical ways to regulate your emotions before you respond

• How to replace fear with truth and speak life over your child

This conversation is all about learning to pause, breathe, and anchor in God’s Word before reacting in fear—so you can parent with peace, confidence, and connection.
