Season 3: Ep 2 - Why Regulation Became the Heart of My Book

from The Parent Pod · host Rachel Russell from Quite Frankly Coaching

Today, my book is officially out in the world, and this episode is about how it came to be.After nearly fifteen years of working with children and families, and many more months of writing, revising, and editing, this book grew out of what I kept seeing in classrooms over time. More big feelings, more anxiety, more children struggling to cope, and a growing focus on behaviour without enough attention on what was happening underneath.In this episode, I share why regulation became the heart of the book, why behaviour is never the whole story, and how understanding the nervous system changes the way we support children. We explore co-regulation, emotional literacy, parental triggers, and what children really need to feel safe enough to learn and grow.If you’ve ever felt confused or discouraged by behaviour that doesn’t seem to improve, this conversation offers a calmer, more connected way forward.For a copy of my book, please head over to:www.quitefrankly.com.auStay rad
