Hey calm-seekers 💛I’m so excited to share what’s on the way for our Calm & Connected Parenting Lab — a brand-new printable Regulation Cheat Sheet that breaks down exactly how to help kids calm their bodies and brains (from toddlers all the way to tweens). Here’s what’s inside:✨ Simple brain science — why a three-year-old’s prefrontal cortex isn’t fully formed (and what that means when they “lose it”)✨ A quick guide to co-regulation — because kids borrow our calm before they can create their own✨ Age-based strategies — toddler | child | tween breakdowns for what actually works✨ Everyday tools — body, breath, connection, and environment supports for real-life moments It’s trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed, and made for real parents — the kind who are healing, learning, and showing up with love even when it’s hard. 🌿 💬 What’s next: Later this week I’ll be dropping a short video lesson walking you through the guide — including how to recognize when your child’s amygdala is in charge, and what to do to bring their (and your) nervous system back online. If you’ve ever thought, “Why won’t they just calm down?” or “What do I do when they’re melting down?” — this is for you. Stay tuned, my friends. You’re building resilient brains — one co-regulated moment at a time. 💪💛

If you’re new here, start with this:“10 Things I Wish I’d Known About Parenting (Before I Learned the Brain Science)” These are the shifts I didn’t learn from books or advice or trial-and-error —I learned them the hard way, after years of dysregulation, frustration, and repeating patterns that weren’t working. This community exists so you don’t have to do it the hard way. Read through the list slowly. Notice which one hits your nervous system the most. That is your starting point. You are not late. You are not broken. You are not behind. You are here — and that is the turning point.

Okay, deep breath… whoop whoop! I’m so excited (and only mildly terrified 😅) to share my very first class: ✨ Building Routines for Safety, Connection & Regulation ✨ This one’s close to my heart — because routines aren’t just about bedtime charts or brushing teeth (though those help!). They’re about creating predictability, safety, and connection — for our kids and for us. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m too tired for another new strategy,” or “our mornings are chaos,” this one’s for you. It’s real, it’s brain-based, and it’s doable — even if you’re running on caffeine and hope. ☕💛 💬 In this video, we talk about: - Why predictability calms the brain 🧠 - How to start small (really small) - What to do when things fall apart (spoiler: it’s not failure, it’s feedback) - And how connection is the secret ingredient to every great routine Go check it out, give it a watch, and tell me your biggest “aha!” moment in the comments. Here’s to calmer mornings, smoother bedtimes, and homes that feel just a little more peaceful. 🌿Because you deserve that. Your kids do, too. 💛 #Parenting #Connection #BrainScience #ThatParentingCoach

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here This space was created for parents, grandparents, and caregivers who want to do things differently — with more calm, connection, and nervous-system safety at home. You can’t always change every situation or every behavior, but you can change how it feels — and you don’t have to do that alone anymore. Inside this community you can expect: • brain-based parenting strategies you can actually use • nervous system tools for you (so you can regulate them) • live classes & resources coming soon • a no-judgment, no-shame environment • support from someone who teaches this every day in real life If you want to connect with me elsewhere, you can also find me on: • YouTube — That Parenting Coach & The Craft of Wellness • Instagram — @That_ParentingCoach & @The_Craft_Of_Wellness • Facebook — That Parenting Coach & The Craft of Wellness This is the beginning of something new — and I’m so excited you’re here as it grows. Welcome to the Calm & Connected Parenting Lab.

This community is officially happening — and I’m so glad you’re here at the beginning. Before we build forward, I’d love to know who is in the room. When you’re ready, introduce yourself by sharing: 1) Where in the world you’re located (just general location — curious who we’re beside on the map) 2) Tell us about the little human(s) you’re raising. Share who they are in their essence — the parts of them that make them them (think: bold, sensitive, observant, hilarious, imaginative, persistent, old soul, etc.) 3) One thing you’re hoping to get from this community(support, strategy, connection, nervous system tools, accountability, etc.) No pressure to share deeply — just whatever feels right to begin. Can’t wait to meet you and grow this space together. 💛
