Rethinking Regulation: An Aware Parenting Perspective

This guide helps you understand why the terms “regulation” and “co-regulation” can be confusing, and how things we think are helpful could be hindering relaxation, presence and sleep. Instead, I offer a clear Aware Parenting perspective - based on neuroscience, the nervous system and trauma-informed.

Inside, you’ll find practical insights on why I don't use those terms, how children move through big feelings, what mild dissociation is, and how you can support your child to return naturally to calm, presence, and connection — without relying on techniques that may suppress their emotions and impact sleep, behaviour and more.

The guide is free to download. If you’d like to buy me a coffee to say thanks for my work, you’re warmly invited to do so using the donation box above.
