Understanding your Nervous System

Understand your body. Support your child. Regulate together.

Parenting doesn't just happen from the mind, it happens from the body.

When you're yelling, shutting down, or feeling overwhelmed, it's not because of some failure, it's because your nervous system is asking for support.

This workbook helps you understand what’s happening inside you (and your child), so you can move from reaction to regulation and parent with more awareness, connection, and calm.

Inside, you’ll explore:

• Why nervous system awareness is essential in parenting
• A breakdown of Polyvagal Theory (in a way that actually makes sense)
• How to identify where you are in your nervous system
• Sensory needs and calming tools for you and your child
• Triggers and cues of dysregulation in both of you
• How to self-regulate so you can co-regulate with your child

This is a real-life resource with no perfection required.

Just support, clarity, and tools you can come back to again and again
