Reprogramming Your Child’s Emotional Baseline

If your child's behavior feels like a constant system failure, you might be looking at the wrong data. Today on The Parent Tap, we are breaking down the architecture of emotional regulation.I am joined by Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst, a licensed clinical psychologist with decades of experience and the author of Read, Reflect, Respond. Together, we trade the theoretical psychology for a rigid Standard Operating Procedure. We break down the exact ways society incorrectly programs young boys to suppress emotion, why "all behavior makes sense in its context," and how to implement a daily 15-Minute Connection Protocol to stabilize your family's baseline. If you want to raise emotionally healthy children who don't shut down under pressure, you need to hear this blueprint.CONNECT WITH DR.
