The Parent-Child Nervous System Connection – How Your Stress Affects Your Child’s Behavior

Описание: In this powerful episode of The Parent Thing, Tarryn dives deep into the parent-child nervous system connection — uncovering how your stress, emotions, and internal state shape your child’s behavior on a neurological level.


Discover what neuroscience reveals about co-regulation, emotional safety, and how your child’s brain learns regulation through you. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of why your child’s meltdowns, clinginess, or resistance are not “bad behavior,” but rather a reflection of their nervous system attuning to yours.


Tarryn blends neuro-somatic intelligence (NSI), parenting wisdom, and simple, practical tools to help you create calm within yourself — because when you regulate, your child learns to regulate too.


This episode is for every parent who’s ready to break the cycle of stress, bring peace back into their home, and raise emotionally resilient, self-regulated kids.
