How to Build Nervous System Capacity for Calmer Parenting – 393


Listen Later

Picture two moms.

They both work full time. They both keep track of schedules, appointments, groceries, school emails, and everyone’s emotional temperature. They both have kids who talk back, make messes, and test limits.

One mom snaps more often than she wants to. She yells, feels out of control, and then carries guilt.

The other mom gets activated too, but she recovers faster. She repairs more easily. She stays more connected to herself during stressful situations.

What makes the difference?

It isn’t more love.

It isn’t more effort.
It isn’t more self-control.

It’s more nervous system capacity.

In this episode, I explain what nervous system capacity is and how it shapes your reactions in everyday parenting.

If you want to understand what determines how you respond under stress, this episode explains it clearly.
