Regulating Parental Stress – Because Your Nervous System Impacts Your Child’s
In this episode of The Parent Thing, we dive into the powerful connection between parental stress, nervous system regulation, and child behavior. If you’ve ever noticed that your child’s emotions escalate when you’re overwhelmed, or that nothing seems to work when you’re exhausted, this conversation will bring clarity and relief.
Using neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, and a neuro-somatic lens, this episode explains how children co-regulate with caregivers and why your nervous system state directly shapes your child’s emotional safety, behavior, and ability to self-regulate.
Rather than focusing on fixing behavior, this episode shifts the focus inward, helping parents understand how stress lives in the body, how it transfers to children without words, and how regulation is a skill that can be practiced and strengthened over time.
You’ll walk away feeling empowered, supported, and equipped with practical ways to regulate your nervous system in everyday moments without striving for perfection.
