Memorable Moments:

\u201dParenting a child who is having daily meltdowns, emotional outbursts, aggression, impulsivity, resistance to tasks and listening\u2026As a parent, when you are constantly experiencing that, it can take a huge toll on the nervous system.\u201d

\u201dBlocked care can happen\u2026It\u2019s like we want to avoid that interaction, and it shuts down that part of our brain that wants to care for our kids.\u201d

\u201dWhen we\u2019re in a chronic stress environment, our window of tolerance gets smaller and smaller.\u201d

\u201dThe more we\u2019re noticing what\u2019s happening in our minds, in our bodies, physiologically, sensationally, we start to get to know ourselves better, then we can put in steps or get ourselves out of the dynamic.\u201d

\u201dJust being aware means we can slow it down before it starts to impact our mental health.\u201d

\u201dWe can\u2019t soothe our kids' nervous system if our nervous system is shot.\u201d

\u201dOne thing that can really help is to remember, \u2018I\u2019m doing the best I can with the resources I have..\u2019\u201d

\u201dIf you could be doing better, you would be. But when you can, you will.\u201d

\u201dWhen we are heightened, we want to extend our exhale. When we\u2019re really low and lethargic, we want to extend our inhale.\u201d
