Episode notes
Behavior Reflects Nervous System
- Behavior confusion often stems from outdated ideas about behavior and parenting.
- Challenging behaviors usually emerge from a vulnerable nervous system, not bad parenting or bad kids.
See Behavior as Internal Clues
- View behaviors as clues to internal nervous system states, not just actions to manage.
- Stay curious about "why" behaviors happen and target nervous system needs.
Nervous System's Safety Check
- Nervous system constantly assesses safety through neuroception four times a second.
- Behavior arises from whether nervous system feels safe (connection) or unsafe (protection).
