Parenting with the "Whole-Brain": How to work with the brain rather than fight against with Dr. Dan Siegel

Is your child explosive? Do you struggle to keep your own emotions in-check, then feel guilty after you lose your cool?

We're all working with the same equipment and understanding the basics of what is happening in our kid's brains and our own brains when we get dysregulated can have a huge impact on how often we're able to stay calm in the face of life's chaos.

I am honored to be joined once again by Dr. Dan Siegel to explore:

- The "window of tolerance" - what it is and how to use it to help you and your child stay grounded, even during stressful moments.

- Dan performs a visceral Yes/No Exercise that listeners can follow along with to become a more effective regulator of your own threat response.

- There is no such thing as being perfect, real secure attachment boils down to proper repair after you lose your cool. We cover the most effective strategies and tools for facilitating repair in your relationship with your child.

- Everyone has innate temperament and personality traits (like sensitivity, intensity of their reactions, and their response to novelty), but do those proclivities become intensified by our attachment relationships?

- How to apply these strategies to kids who don't fit the mold - who are sensitive, explosive, neurodiverse, or quick to become dysregulated.

- Dan's views as a psychiatrist on how medication and clinical interventions can be properly used with children.

- How to look at any diagnosis from the perspective of integration versus disintegration - and by looking at it this way, what that means for treatment.
