You are exhausted from having to constantly co-regulate your kids (if it's making you exhausted, you're doing it wrong)
You are getting triggered or annoyed by your kid's outbursts
You are at your wits end, don't know what to do any more, and don't really know what co-regulating is or how to do it (don't worry - I've got you, and I have a simple solution)
You don't want to parent in the way you were parented, but don't know what to do instead
And it will keep you sane
Big emotions in children can feel overwhelming, and when they’re in full meltdown mode, it’s hard to know where to start. You might feel helpless, frustrated, or even triggered yourself.
But here’s the truth: your calm is the key to their calm. And that's basically what co-regulating is.
Ok, I tried that and it didn't work
There are many reasons why it might not work for you. There are many things that could be tweaked. That’s why I created The Parent’s Guide to Co-Regulating Your Child’s Big Emotions—a step-by-step guide to help you manage your own nervous system and create the calm your child needs to quickly get out of dysregulation.
So try it again with this guide - what do you have to lose?

I'm Dr Lee Nolan-Lönn, emotional regulation expert, somatic healing practitioner and trauma-informed coach. I'm also a former neuroscientist. I've see many parents of struggling with their kid's dysregulation, especially if their child is a bit spirited. So I decided to create a guide to make it easier for you to be able to calm your child.
My first child was the least calm and most dysregulated baby, and then toddler, I knew. Nothing I did worked! I felt like a complete failure. So I used my research background and knowledge, and tried different things until I found out what worked and why. And I've been helping parents ever since.
Now I have three kids, two of whom are neurodivergent (as am I, so I always need to work on my own dysregulation). And I can say that making the right changes in your parenting while your kids are still young will improve your connection with them and reduce many future behaviour problems, stress and feelings of "not good enough."
Because when you find your calm, your child can, too.
