Last week, Lisa introduced co-regulation. This week, she goes deeper.
In this episode, Lisa explains the neuroscience behind why co-regulation works and what is actually happening inside your kid’s nervous system when you stay calm during their meltdown. From “borrowed calm” to repair to attunement, you’ll learn how your regulated presence literally builds your kid’s brain.
If you’ve ever wondered why your kid’s meltdowns seem to spiral no matter what you say or do, this episode will change how you see regulation forever.
What You'll Learn:
- What “borrowed calm” is and how your kid’s nervous system syncs with yours during emotional storms
- Why regulation is social before it becomes internal, and how kids learn self-regulation through safe relationships
- How repair after you lose your cool actually strengthens emotional development, not weakens it
- What attunement means and how it builds emotional intelligence without lectures or long conversations
- Why safety increases better behavior, and how regulation creates the conditions for growth
- How to reframe meltdowns as brain-building opportunities instead of parenting failures
