Last week we talked co-regulation, this week we’re deep diving into how we really teach it to our kids. Plot twist: it’s not what you think.

We also walk you through our favorite tool to find your child’s SOS for when they need help regulating their emotions. As always, pick one skill to work on this week, go hard, and be curious.

This week we’re discussing co-regulation. We walk you through what co-regulation is, why we need it and we get a little science-y. You know how Paige loves to get into the neuroscience of it all. Not only is co-regulation an evolutionary skill, but it’s an integral part in our children being able to learn how to regulate their emotions on their own someday. Tune in to learn more about how we use our own emotions to support the emotions of our children.

This week we’re deep-diving into self-care. What comes to your mind when we mention self-care? If it’s expensive and bougie, then we highly recommend you take a listen. Together, we talk through several different ideas that you can utilize for self-care, why it’s important, and how to weave it throughout your day. The first rule of this episode: Take what works and leave what doesn’t, and always remember: self-care is intimately defined by you, and you are the only one who can ensure what you’re doing is self-care.

What comes to mind when you hear Radical Acceptance? As humans, we spend a lot of time being upset about things that aren’t in our control. Radical acceptance is taking the concept that we can’t change what’s happening, so how do we navigate the challenge? We talk through why this is important in parenting neurodivergent children and how to implement this concept to create a smoother experience in your parenting journey.

Welcome back to Mindful As A Mother! Today we are welcoming a special guest all the way from Austria, Carina Wahringer. We strongly believe that the most important voices in parenting and living with neurodivergence come from the individuals themselves. Carina is a strong example of a neurodivergent mother with neurodivergent children just trying to wing parenthood like the rest of us. Together, we talk about how Carina knew she’s neurodivergent, what it's like parenting as a neurodivergent individual and parenting neurodivergent children, and her biggest struggles and strengths in neurodivergence.

PACE
Playfulness: Stressed brains respond to calm, playful faces and tones of voice. You can counter stress by introducing playfulness. Playfulness can defuse arousal, reduce conflict, and increase connectedness.
Acceptance: Communicating with our words and actions that their feelings, thoughts, urges, and perceptions and accepted completely and trusting that what they are feeling is their truth in that moment. Radically accept what’s in front of you and focus on supporting your child through it regardless of how it triggers you.
Curiosity: be curious about where the behavior comes from. Be curious enough to truly understand your child’s perspective. Open-ended questions or contemplating these questions yourself. Curiosity can also promote their self-reflection on their feelings and behaviors.
Empathy: Genuinely attempt to understand your child’s position. Focus on connection over correction. by demonstrating how difficult an experience might be for THEM, you are comforting them and letting them know they do not have to deal with their distress alone.

DAY 5! WE DID IT! You have now learned how to map your nervous system, evaluated basic needs, learned and practiced new skills, and practiced them with your children. Next, we learn how to use all of this information to create a supportive routine. We have a toolbox that we're filling and we need a wide variety of tools. Just like you can't build an entire house with just a hammer, not every skill is appropriate for every situation. We want you to list your tools and the things you've been practicing. Then, go through and look at your map from day one (yours and your child) identifying your main triggers. Now, weave your skills and meeting basic needs into the days/times of your routine for nervous system support. Listen to the entire podcast sprint day 5 to get a clearer picture of how to create a supportive routine for yourself and your children.

Well, we have to take it back to co-regulating. Co-regulating is when we use our nervous system to help support our child's nervous system and enter a calm state. Basically, your ability to manage your emotions will make a HUGE impact on your child's ability to manage their emotions. We have good news for you, it's never too late to start teaching your kids how to co-regulate. Here are some examples of what we discuss in this podcast sprint: our experience learning how to manage our emotions later in life (30's), narrating our child's experience using feelings words, modeling the use of skills to manage our emotions, modeling of the labeling our emotional experience and physical sensations with each emotion, modeling and practicing new skills by ourselves and with our children.

Step Three! This is where most parents and people get off track. Did you know that if you attempt too much change too quickly you're actually making it harder on yourself? Often, we want to start here, jumping in to use all the skills. "What do I do at the moment?!" "What are the skills?!" If you haven't, go back to day one to make sure you have a solid foundation of understanding of how to support your nervous system before attempting new skills. Start with finding things you're already interested in and find ways to incorporate them into your daily routine. We talk through habit stacking and some of our favorite skills. Specifically, we emphasize practicing skills while already calm so your brain will have access to them at the moment you need them to support your nervous system. Here are a handful of names of skills we discuss: patterned breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, taking a pause (utilizing STOP), progressive muscle relaxation, sensory cocooning, cold exposure, and ways to tailor skills specific to your child.

Welcome back to the podcast sprint! We've mapped our nervous system, or maybe your child's nervous system. Now, we need to ensure that our basic needs are being met. "Am I optimizing myself at the level I am capable of?" For the purpose of this podcast sprint and nervous system regulation, our basic needs include rest, sunlight, movement, play, nourishment, connection, shelter, and safety. Once we are able to find our patterns of dysregulation within our nervous system, we are able to evaluate if we're meeting our body's basic needs. What do you notice when you're dysregulated? Are you often tired or hungry? Does your body need movement? You will also learn how to apply this to your child. We're basically just complicated houseplants.

Get the down and dirty on the what, why, and how of mapping your nervous system and the nervous system of your child. Nervous system regulation is the core of understanding our responses as adults and tantrums and meltdowns for our kids. Often, we try and jump in immediately with skills to help, but if we don't understand how and why the meltdowns happen, it's harder to problem solve. This is truly step one. Enjoy!

We're back this week with part two of the fascinating world of ADHD thinking, convergent and divergent thinking, and the superpowers of the ADHD brain.
We begin by exploring convergent and divergent thinking, and how they differ from one another. We discuss how people with ADHD often excel at divergent thinking, which involves generating multiple ideas and solutions while struggling with convergent thinking, which involves narrowing down options and making decisions.
We then delve into the superpowers of the ADHD brain, including hyper-focus, creativity, and outside-the-box thinking. We explore how these strengths can be harnessed and leveraged to achieve success in various areas of life, from entrepreneurship to the arts.
Throughout the episode, we provide practical tips and strategies for ADHD moms to maximize their strengths and manage their challenges. We also touch on the stigma and misconceptions surrounding ADHD, and the importance of embracing neurodiversity and celebrating differences in cognitive styles.

Lindsay takes a deep dive into the question that she gets asked the most on Tik Tok.. "How do I figure out the need behind my child's behavior?" She shares three areas you can explore and make tweaks so that you are meeting your child's needs and addressing unsavory behaviors. This episode was inspired by a post from the Child Institute of Psychology.
Summer is coming in HOT! And that's no joke. We're moving into the season where parents become full-time entertainers and the days of focused work are gone. For me, summer season is accompanied by excitement, sleeping in, eating all the ice cream, and memorable family adventures. The other part of summer is knowing that, as much as you love your sticky-fingered mess makers, the unadulterated quality time + energy you’re going to be putting into making summer magic means there’s a lot less time + energy to maintaining your sanity. I’m here to help you keep summer from stealing your sanity while still creating the magic you hope for while being the intentional, incredible, SANE parent that I know you are.
Takeaways, DO let your kids be bored, DO prioritize quality over quantity, and DON'T get caught up in the "Should's" of summer.

You've lost it, now what? In this episode, Lindsay breaks down Repair after Rupture. Repairing after rupture is basically a formula for repairing your relationship with your child after there has been a conflict or disconnect. Repairing can teach our child so many things (reminding yourself of the lessons it teaches can be so helpful when we are caught in the shame cycle). It models conflict resolution skills, and accountability. Most importantly it shows our child that because we aren’t perfect it means that they don’t need to perfect.

Meet Paige:
Hi! I’m Paige, a therapist by trade and a Parent Educator by passion. I have a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I am a certified clinical trauma specialist. The focus of my work is with children and adolescents navigating anxiety and depression while processing traumatic experiences. Working with children and adolescents, I noticed a need in services for parents who are looking for support and guidance on their parenting journey. While I still work my regular 9-5, I dedicated my passion to helping parents understand the “why” behind their kid’s behaviors. I work 1:1 with parents to identify their parenting strengths and struggles, create a unique plan specific to their needs, and teach them real tools to start using ASAP. My absolute favorite part about what I do is that I can connect with and support parents on their parenting journey. Because, bottom line, parenting is hard, and you are incredible. You just need someone in your corner to remind you.
