When your child is dysregulated, telling them to calm down won’t work. Not because they’re not listening. Not because they’re being difficult. But because they can’t access calm on their own in that moment.

By the time February arrives, Christmas feels firmly in the past, but for many families, the strain it placed on already-stretched nervous systems is still very present.

For many families, Christmas doesn’t end neatly on Boxing Day. Instead, the days that follow feel harder. Routines unravel. Emotions run closer to the surface. Children who managed, just about, suddenly melt down, withdraw, refuse things they were coping with only days before.

Hot weather and hot tempers? This gentle self-hypnosis technique helps stressed parents lower their internal temperature and restore calm, even on the hottest summer days. A quick and effective moment of cool, collected peace, just for you.
