When your childâs behavior leaves you feeling confused, frustrated, or even hopeless, staying curious might be the last thing on your mind.
But curiosity is actually SO COOL! Itâs both a parenting strategy AND a nervous system state.
In this episode, weâll explore how to access curiosity, even when behavior makes no sense, and how that curiosity helps us find the path forward.
In this episode, youâll learn:
Why curiosity is a sign your owl brain is online, and how to use curiosity to invite your owl brain back when itâs notA powerful question to shift your lens from âwhatâs wrong?â to âwhatâs needed?âHow baffling behavior can reveal clues about what regulation, safety, or connection your child is missing?Resources mentioned in this podcast:

When you're dealing with whining, hitting, defiance, back talkâŠwell, of course you want it to stop. But what if behavior change isnât actually the place to start? Not for long-term behavior change, at least.
In this episode, I explore why behavior change does matter, but why itâs not the first goal, especially for kids with vulnerable nervous systems.
HEADS UP! Iâm not necessarily asking YOU- the one facing these out of control behaviors- to change your goal of behavior change. ButâŠwhat if the people who are helping you could stay focused on that truth?!
In this episode, youâll learn:
Why all behavior makes senseâeven the baffling kindWhat happens when we shift from changing behavior to addressing the nervous systemHow holding two truths at once helps you feel more regulated, even in hard momentsResources mentioned in this podcast:

Why do kids sometimes - or a lot of the time! - suddenly act much youngerâŠor sneakier?! In this episode, we use Dr. Bruce Perryâs concept of state-dependent functioning to reframe some of the baffling behaviors as signs of stress, not signs of defiance.If you want to dive deeper into this topic, join us over in The Club. In June 2025, weâre having a masterclass all about behaviors and state dependent functioning- complete with a brand-new illustrated resource. If youâre hearing this episode in the future, the masterclass is stored in our on-demand video library and can still be accessed!

Could you use a short refresher about what I mean when I say your childâs "owl brain flew away"? Or do yoRu know someone who is willing to listen to a short explanation of how youâre approaching your childâs baffling behaviors?
In this episode, I revisit - briefly- what behavior really is and the owl, watchdog, and possum brain metaphor. I explain why it's such a helpful way to understand your child's baffling behaviors. I also talk about what actually helps those protective brains calm down so the owl can return.
In this episode, youâll learn:
What the owl, watchdog, and possum brains really represent in your childâs behavior.How to recognize which brain state is in charge.Why our goal isnât to fix the behavior but to offer regulation, connection, and safety.Resources mentioned in this podcast:

If youâve clicked on this episode because youâre feeling like you're failingâat parenting, at keeping it together, at helping your childâI'm really glad youâre here.
Because first, I want you to know this: youâre not failing. Youâre doing something incredibly hard. Parenting a child with a vulnerable nervous system, whether your child has been impacted by trauma, or has sensory differences, or just has a brain wired a little differently, is extremely intensive parenting.
I created this episode so you can:
Easily return to it when you need a âmini pep talkâListen in a short period of time- I know Iâm usually a little long-windedBe reminded as often as you need: this isnât your fault. Youâre not failingResources mentioned in this podcast:

Have you ever wondered what types of questions you should ask a new therapist to assess how well they understand behaviors through the lens of the nervous system?
No need to take notes during this episode, I created downloadable handouts you can access with just one click. Listen to the episode then head over to my website!
PLEASE NOTE. These are suggestions. Please vet your professionals thoroughly. Iâm certain there are many important questions left off of this list. Iâm also certain there are many excellent trainings that I did not include in the list of potential trainings. Also, even if a therapist meets all the criteria, that doesnât mean they are the right therapist for your family. Even someone trained with me isnât necessarily the therapist or professional that is right for you.
In this episode, youâll learn

Kids with vulnerable nervous systems need more co-regulation than other kids their age and yes itâs exhausting.
Did you know itâs possible to be GOOD exhausted and not just BAD exhausted?!?!
Itâs youâre chronically exhausted, youâre probably not doing as much co-regulation as you are masking how dysregulated you are.
And hey- no judgment here! This is very explicitly a no-judgment episode. I donât want you to feel bad or even try to do anything different.
In this episode, youâll learn
The difference between co-regulating and maskingHow doing something really hard (like co-regulating a child with a vulnerable nervous system day in and day out) means that YOU need more connection and co-regulation, too!That you donât need to try to do anything different right now, itâs too much work to do anything different. In this episode, Iâll just ask you to notice- without judgmentResources mentioned in this podcast:

Have you ever wondered how those behaviors that feel 'on purpose' fit into this nervous system approach?
They feel so intentional! Like there is so much Owl-brain thought involved.
But they certainly aren't behaviors of connection!!!

Monitoring and modifying are the two essential elements of regulation. ~ Dr. Dan Siegel
When we really understand what makes up the skill of self-regulation, we can be more intentional about helping our kids develop those skills.
We can also be more understanding and compassionate when they aren't able to use those skills!
This episode explores the skills of monitoring (noticing) and modifying (changing) our level of arousal and activation as the main ingredients of self-regulation.
Remember that self-regulation can only develop with enough co-regulation. But once there is a strong foundation of co-regulation, we can encourage our kids to develop the skills to notice and change (when appropriate or needed!) their level of arousal.
In this episode, youâll learn
The main ingredients of self-regulation- monitor & modifyHow to scaffold up to teaching kids to monitor and modifyHow to have appropriate expectations about your childâs ability to monitor and modify, even after they have learned the skillsResources mentioned in this podcast:

Medical trauma can feel confusing because in many circumstances, we are seeking out the very medical interventions that our kids experience as traumatic.
Trauma is in the eye of the beholder. Some kids experience trauma due to their time in the NICU. Some kids experience trauma at the dentist. Some kids experience trauma due to an emergency or accident.
Much of the time, parents feel helpless or even guilty for âcausingâ the trauma.

Resentment. Weâve all felt it.
Very little about this parenting journey has gone according to plan.
Weâve done the hard work- the never-ending work actually - of rewiring everything we thought we knew about behavior, what it means to be human, how to parent, and how to have a family.
Some days we do it without a second thought.
Some days are full of resentment and anger.
You arenât a bad person. But resentment feels bad!

One of the harder things to navigate when shifting to a nervous system lens on behavior is the feeling that a lot of the strategies seem like they are rewarding bad behavior.
Strategies that invite regulation, connection, and felt safety are usually strategies that feel good.
If our kids feel good after bad behavior, will they have MORE bad behavior??
In this episode, youâll learn
What it might be signaling if youâre wondering if youâre rewarding bad behaviorHow to avoid unintentionally increasing the likelihood of dysregulation in the futureWhy itâs reallllllly important to offer connection, co-regulation and felt safety strategies when you are in connection modeResources mentioned in this podcast:

Itâs very common to feel like our kids are either intentionally sabotaging good things or that they are purposefully setting us up to be mad or disappointed or to have to say no.
You arenât imagining this phenomenon!
All humans do it, but our kids with vulnerable nervous system and big, baffling behaviors may seem like they do it more often.
In this episode, youâll learn
The neuroscience behind WHY our kids sabotage situations or set us up to be dysregulatedWhat they are really doing (and itâs actually full of hope)How we might respond differently that could actually change their brainResources mentioned in this podcast:

It took me a looooooong time to really truly believe and understand that- no one is coming to save me.
I had to do the hard work to take responsibility for my own triggers, my own nervous system, my own change. This only happened after oodles and oodles of safety, connection, and co-regulation.
Maybe you, like me, have held onto the hope that someone else will fix this. Your child will change, youâll get the services you need, something will happen and everything will get better.
Maybe this journey through some of the intimate moments of my own healing journey can assist you on yourâs.
