Regulation First Parenting: Regulate First Then Discipline
Regulation first parenting has completely changed the way I help families — and it’s the secret every stressed parent needs to hear.
In this video, I share why focusing on regulation before behavior transforms parenting. When a child’s brain is dysregulated, no amount of punishment, rewards, or lectures will work — because learning and coping only happen once the nervous system is calm.
👉 Here’s what I’ll cover:
-What regulation first parenting really means (and why it works)
-The hidden role of dysregulation behind meltdowns, shutdowns, and defiance
-Why traditional discipline backfires when kids are overwhelmed
-Simple strategies you can use today to co-regulate with your child
-How this approach leads to calmer kids and less stress at home

💜 After 30 years of working with families, I know this: once you embrace regulation first parenting, you stop blaming your child (or yourself) and start finding real solutions.
