Somatic Parenting: Regulating Yourself to Regulate Your Child

Break the cycle of reactive anger and discover the biology of co-regulation with practical somatic parenting tools.

When the noise of a tantrum spikes your anxiety and you feel the urge to scream, logic often fails. You are not failing your family; you are simply dys-regulated. This guide normalizes the intense overwhelm and shutdown that arises during daily chaos, shifting the focus from moral judgment to biological responses.

Instead of chasing an impossible standard of constant patience, learn to navigate the messy reality of rupture and repair. Your body is the most powerful anchor during conflicts, helping you soothe a child who is borrowing your nervous system stability.

Move beyond guilt and gain insight into your unique trigger mapping. Understand how past history shapes current reactions, allowing you to trade self-blame for curiosity and immediate emotional control.
