This book, written by Dr. Stuart Shanker, overturns conventional wisdom by introducing self-regulation as a method to help children and adults manage stress. It explains that children’s problematic behaviors are often a result of hidden stressors rather than a lack of self-control. The book provides practical advice grounded in decades of research, helping parents and caregivers to develop self-regulation skills and teach them to their children. This approach can improve a child’s mood, attention, concentration, and emotional well-being, leading to profound and lasting transformations throughout life.
What if I told you that there's a revolutionary approach to parenting that's shifting the traditional power dynamics and nurturing stronger relationships of trust and understanding? My latest conversation with Amanda Diekman, author of the groundbreaking book "Low Demand Parenting", explores this very concept. Together, we tread into the challenging terrain of parenting children with highly sensitive nervous systems, sharing insightful strategies and breakthrough research work of Ross Green, Mona Delahooke, and Stuart Shanker.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What is low-demand parenting
- How to create a post-meltdown plan for parents
