19. Understanding the Nervous System: Tools for Calm Parenting

In this episode Georgia & Jane discuss the concept of the "window of tolerance" as a framework for understanding and managing our nervous systems, particularly in parenting situations. Developed by Dr. Daniel Siegel, the window of tolerance provides a model for recognising when we are in a balanced, healthy state and when we are experiencing hyperarousal or hypoarousal.Georgia & Jane help us to understand these states and provide insight into why as parents we may react in certain ways, while giving valuable strategies for bringing your kids back to a balanced emotional state.For more expert support, check out our Raising Well Nourished Kids online programFor support creating nutritious lunchboxes simply, take a look at The Lunchbox Formula online programFollow on Instagram @wellnourishedkids
