Episode 65-Brain Breaks, Self-Regulation, and Success For Your Child with Dr. Kelly Cagle

What if parenting focused on teaching our children self-regulation? Imagine if they knew how to advocate for themselves and understood the unique ways they learn best. In today’s episode, Paige welcomes Dr. Kelly Cagle, host of the Parenting IQ podcast, author of God's Promises as Waves, and devoted mom to three boys: Levi, Titus, and Micah, alongside her husband, Josh. Holding a PhD in Education, Dr. Kelly is passionate about guiding parents to turn everyday moments into powerful learning opportunities, equipping their children with both the heart and mind to thrive as lifelong learners. This is an encouraging and impactful conversation for parents with all school-aged (or soon-to-be school-aged) children. Paige’s TakeawaysDuring different seasons, certain things deserve a no, (even if they’re good things).Filter and focus! If it’s not part of the vision, filter it out. Your child needs time to REST and CREATE. Take a brain break!Physically remove yourself from your task to reset your brain.Move your body! Stretch, do jumping jacks, run stairs, etc.Teach your child to recognize their body cues.Kid have the wiggles? Let them know they can get up and dance, move around, and reset their body. Teach them how to advocate for this need, especially in a school setting. E.g. Go to the teacher and kindly ask if they can move/stretch in the back of the class during lessons so they can focus better. Paige ClingenpeelQuestions About the Podcast?
