- Episode 1: Let your calm be their calm: Co-regulating with your young child
This episode focuses on what co-regulation is, why it's important, and how to support your child's co-regulation in early childhood. This included:
Reviewing research on:
- Defining self- and co-regulation
- How self- and co-regulation develop in early childhood
- Why co-regulation is important across the lifespan
Providing examples on:
- What this looks like at different ages
- Why it's hard to do all the time and what to do when it IS hard
Describing strategies to use in your own parenting:
- Use a quiet, calm, neutral voice when your child is upset
- Validate their emotions and then sit in it/say nothing
- Use gentle physical touch for connection
- Calm down corners
Suggesting books:
- "Calm Down Time" by Elizabeth Verdick

23 min - Welcome to the Parent Empowerance Podcast!
Welcome to the Parent Empowerance Podcast, where we make early childhood research relatable and actionable for parents. I'm your host, Amara - founder of Parent Empowerance, PhD graduate in human development and family science (specializing in child development and behavior), a former preschool teacher and early childhood intervention specialist, and, most importantly, mom to two littles (a 2 and a half year old daughter, Natalie, and an 8 month old son, Liam).
Our mission at Parent Empowerance is to help parents of young children, specifically birth to five, feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported. We do this by translating early childhood research into real-life tools for parents of little ones, while grounding our suggestions, action steps, and advice in both relatable lived experience and proven science.
Each episode of this podcast will focus on a different topic within child development and most will have 3 main aspects:
- Summarizing what research says about that topic,
- Providing real-life examples, experiences, or applications, and
- Suggesting action steps you can take to apply the research with your own kids.
I center my strategies around the idea that parents are the experts of their own children, and I keep the episodes short (15-20 minutes) so you can actually fit listening to them into your week! I know what it’s like to only have a few precious moments to yourself, and I’m glad to be a part of that.
