How to Go From Chaos to Connection as a Busy Parent with Dayna Abraham

In this episode, we're hanging out with a familiar face, Dayna Abraham, who's back on our show for the second time! She's the mastermind behind Calm the Chaos Parenting and has just released her brand-new book, "Calm the Chaos: A Fail-Proof Roadmap for Parenting Even the Most Challenging Kids," which hit the shelves on August 15th. We're diving deep into Dayna's expertise in parenting strategies, especially when it comes to handling those tricky behaviors and kids with sensory sensitivities.

Dayna spills the beans on her cool behavior funnel concept. She’s big on the idea that behavior is how kids communicate, so creating a safe space for them to open up is crucial. Join us as we chat about the fascinating world of seeking and avoiding behaviors and how they often come back to feeling safe and connected!

• The importance of meeting basic needs like safety and connection before delving into behavior challenges.
