Do you ever feel like your patience runs out before your coffee does? In this episode, we focus on why it's essential for parents, teachers, and caregivers to prioritize their own regulation. It's not just about being able to stay calm when your child spills cereal all over the floor—it's about being equipped to handle life's daily challenges with a sense of calm and control.
Join me as I share some straightforward and practical strategies for self-regulation that you might already be doing without realizing their true potential. From chewing gum to changing your clothes, discover how these simple acts can actually help you maintain your cool. We’ll dive into the science behind why our bodies react the way they do and explore how we can proactively use these sensory strategies to reclaim our brain's resources and be the best versions of ourselves for our kids.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- The importance of self-regulation for parents and caregivers.
- How to identify your own cues of dysregulation and what they might look like for you.
- The neuroscience behind why our bodies go into "protective mode" during stress and how it affects our ability to multi-task.
- Simple sensory strategies you can use throughout the day
- My most IMPORTANT tip for implementing these sensory strategies
