How to Regulate Kids: A Quick-Reference Guide for Parents & Caregivers

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. 💪💛
