What happens when your child is dysregulated - and suddenly you are, too?
In this episode of the PDA Parenting Podcast, Amy talks with therapist, author, and educator Stacy Nation about what’s happening beneath challenging behavior, why co-regulation matters, and how our own childhood experiences and nervous-system patterns can shape the way we respond to our kids.
They explore co-regulation, empathy, parent triggers, school struggles, and why connection is so important when parenting PDA and neurodivergent children.
In this episode:
Why behavior is often a stress response
How to recognize nervous system overload
Co-regulation and empathy during meltdowns
How our own childhood patterns affect parenting
Why connection matters more than compliance
A compassionate conversation about helping our kids regulate - while learning to understand and regulate ourselves.
