How Parental Stress Affects Child Behavior: Regulation Tools for Parents with Faye


Children are like sponges; they don't just hear what we say, they absorb how we feel. In this episode of Dam Parenting, we welcome back child psychologist Dr. Faye Pool for a warm, honest, and direct conversation about the science of co-regulation. We dive into the "why" behind parental stress, exploring how our own nervous systems impact our children’s developing brains and why managing our own emotions is the first step in handling a tantrum.

Drawing on Social Learning Theory and insights from experts like Kate Silverton, Dr. Faye provides practical, real-life techniques to help you stay grounded when things get chaotic. From navigating public meltdowns in a Dutch supermarket to managing the unique pressures of parenting abroad, we break down how to shift from reactive to resilient. If you’ve ever felt guilty for "losing it," this episode offers the tools to help you and your child thrive together through mutual regulation.
