Nervous System Work and Your Kids: Where to Start.

Do you ever look at your child in the middle of a meltdown and wonder: Is this because of me? Did they learn this from me? Did I somehow pass this on?In this episode of the Building Resilience Podcast, Leah Davidson looks at how to bring nervous system awareness into family life without it becoming one more overwhelming thing on your plate. Whether your kids are toddlers, teenagers, or in their 20s, the principles Leah covers apply, and the entry points for change are more within reach than you might think.Leah walks through the science of why children develop the nervous system patterns they do, from temperament and epigenetics to the power of co-regulation and repair. You will learn why your own regulated nervous system is the most powerful parenting tool you have, how to teach age-appropriate body awareness, and why repair after a rupture matters more than being calm all the time.We will explore:Children are born with a temperament that shapes how their nervous system responds from day one.Prenatal stress and early experiences play a layered role in wiring a child's stress response system.Co-regulation is the most powerful thing a parent can offer at any age.Naming nervous system states (Team Hyper, Team Hypo, Team Resilient) gives kids language without labeling them.Building safety cues and predictable routines helps the nervous system practice regulation daily.Modeling self-awareness and repair out loud teaches children more than any lesson ever could.LINKS AND RESOURCES:COMMUNITYMIDLIFE NERVOUS SYSTEM REWIRE COMMUNITY 👑: A low pressure, fun community for “Queenagers” to regulate, not fix, their midlife nervous systems.Join here: https://www.skool.com/midlife-nervous-system-rewire/about?ref=06e003b61b8148ebbafd3a067f3cc2e1MENTAL HEALTH STATIONERY - RESILIENT BRILLIANCE PRODUCTS:1) RESILIENCE JOURNAL: A guided journal for emotional well-being and nervous system care Amazon US - https://a.co/d/7DpuyVj2) MY SAFE SPACE : AFFIRMATION AND JOURNAL PROMPT SETAmazon US - https://a.co/d/2mANQs43) WORRY TIME PAD : Amazon US http://bit.ly/3QSvyv1LET'S STAY CONNECTEDSubscribe to Midlife Recalibrated here: https://substack.com/@midliferecalibratedINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/leahdavidsonlifecoaching/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/leahdavidsonlifecoachingWEBSITE: wwww.leahdavidsonlifecoaching.com Hosted on Acast.
