We’ve all had those tough parenting moments. You’re standing in line and your child starts melting down, or you're deep in a bedtime routine that ends with them wide awake for hours. It’s easy to feel frustrated and blame it on “bad behavior” or a “strong-willed” personality, but often there’s something deeper going on. What you’re witnessing may actually be signs of a nervous system that’s overwhelmed and struggling to regulate. The world our kids are growing up in is full of challenges. Constant screen time, busy schedules, processed foods, and daily stressors can all take a toll. These factors are contributing to rising levels of anxiety, sensory struggles, emotional outbursts, and behavioral challenges.
