Co-regulation for Moms of Highly Sensitive Kids

When people talk about "sharing your calm with your kid," does it trigger mom guilt because of all the times you remember messing up or overreacting?

Parenting a highly sensitive kid can really push you to your limits as a mom. Sharing your nervous sytem when you already feel depleted can feel impossible.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• a framework for how to spot your kid's overload before it spirals
• what co-regulation actually looks like in real life
• why you don't have to be calm all the time
