A simple parenting strategy with a big impact on kids' self-regulation, attention, and creativity, with somatic therapist Alé Duarte

A simple parenting strategy with a big impact on kids' self-regulation, attention, and creativity, with somatic therapist Alé Duarte

Alé Duarte, somatic therapist and creator of KidSoma joins me this week to explore how tuning into your child's natural rhythms can completely transform the way you understand their emotions and reactions.

Together we unpack:

- Why play isn't a break from learning, it is the learning.

- What it means to help your child "complete a cycle" so their nervous system can settle and grow.

- How "unfinished cycles" can leave kids dysregulated, impulsive, or anxious—and what parents can do to help their child complete these cycles in daily life.

- Realistic ways to implement these strategies even when you're juggling busy schedules, time pressures, and the realities of everyday parenting.

- Why slowing down and following your child's lead can actually make mornings smoother, transitions easier, and connection deeper.

If you've ever wished you could understand what's happening underneath your child's big emotions and find a calmer rhythm for your entire family system, this conversation will change the way you see play, presence, and parenting.
