Have you ever yelled “CALM DOWN”? How effective was it? Today, I’m teaching a simple four-step process: for more ease and less yelling. It works by rebooting your nervous system - and children can learn it too! 

This week, episode 47 of Poised & Powerful Podcast is sharing mindfulness together: easing transitions for yourself and your child with The Ready List!

  • The Ready List as a tool for co-regulating with your child and helping them develop their own self-regulation. 
  • A variety of practical ways to use The Ready List during hectic days.
