Sometimes, your kids can handle frustration or disappointment with ease, and other times the exact same challenge sends them into meltdown mode. This can feel really baffling! Why are they so inconsistent?

Well, part of that difference comes down to their window of stress tolerance.

In this episode, you’ll learn

• What the window of stress tolerance is and how it connects to your child’s Owl, Watchdog, and Possum brains
• Why widening the window matters for learning, relationships, and everyday life
• Practical ways you can help your child (and yourself!) expand the window through connection, playfulness, noticing the good, and self-compassion

Resources mentioned in this podcast:

• What Does Co-Regulation Really Look Like? {EP 81}
• Scaffolding is a Form of Co-Regulation {EP 82}
• Boundaries with Connection Part 1 of 3 {EP 111}
• Felt Safety (Inside) - Part 1 {Ep 161}
