    Responding, Not Reacting, When Everyone Is Dysregulated

    When your child melts down and your body reacts before your mind can catch up, it’s easy to believe you’ve failed. In this episode, Nicole gently reframes reactivity as a nervous-system response, not a character flaw. You’ll learn why “responding” isn’t about perfect words, but about creating just enough safety to slow the moment down. This conversation will help you understand what’s really happening in those heated seconds and how small, compassionate shifts can open the door to calmer, more connected responses.

    You Are Not Behind

    January carries an unspoken pressure for parents, new routines, fresh starts, and the feeling that everyone else is already “back on track.” But parenting doesn’t reset on January 1st. In this opening episode of Parent with Grace, Nicole reminds you of something your nervous system may desperately need to hear: you are not behind. If you’re still tired, still dysregulated, still catching your breath after the holidays, this episode is for you. We talk about why feeling “behind” isn’t a failure, why progress in parenting doesn’t look like perfection, and how real growth often shows up quietly through repair, pauses, and fewer power struggles. This is a gentle reset, not focused on doing more, but on settling in, regulating first, and remembering that parenting is not a race. It’s a relationship. Take a breath. You’re not late. You’re not failing. You’re becoming. ✨ Resources mentioned in this episode are available at ParentWithGrace.com 🎧 Next week: How to reset after a meltdown, without shame, spiraling, or over-explaining.
