- Re-routing off-track behavior

An overstimulated kid needs help regulating.

It's not their fault that off-track behavior zooms 0-60, before they (or you!) have a chance to “make a different choice” or “use your words.”

We leaned into what to do with all that energy, how to hold boundaries when they're revving high, and managing your own mixed feelings!

I’ve got you covered with tools for structure and your own regulation—because a flooded adult can’t anchor an off-track kid.

We’re helping kids steer away from physical aggression, resistance, and worries by leaning into playful parenting.

A playful approach to easing worries is not “permissive parenting”—it actually includes clearer expectations, more direct leadership, and routines that help reduce the energy spent on bargaining and frustration.

We touched on the brain science of fear, the power of intentional transitions, and benefits of going for the laugh before the lesson.

Steering with confidence and connection goes a long way toward meeting your child’s immediate needs for regulation and emotional anchoring.

When behavior shows us they can’t follow directions or calm themselves, we can learn to loan them our steadiness. Focus on how to keep your cool more often and communicate sturdy boundaries.

What do a kid who is maxed-out and a parent on the receiving end have in common?

⬆️ Heightened Emotions!
🚨 Emergency Alert Response!
💔 Feeling Disconnected!
💥 Surges of Anger!

These are tell-tale signs that you and your child are stuck in a Rage Dynamic.

Get practical tips to cool the intensity and help predict meltdowns.

For many parents, aggression and defiance are show-stoppers. Game over. Zero tolerance. That makes sense!

When someone is being hurt, intimidated, or over-powered—we need to intervene.

Intensity puts us in survival mode. But sending a hurt/angry/defiant child to time-out, yelling, spanking, or trying to talk it out while they’re escalated adds fuel to 🔥.

No wonder we respond to BIG behavior with BIGGER behavior…or shutting down completely.

Learn what to do BEFORE the intensity ramps up, and find more effective paths to peace than shame & consequences.

Since we can’t go around ‘em, and we can’t go under ‘em…we have to teach kids to stay connected to themselves through ALL the emotions that arise.

We can’t get distracted by surface-level behaviors; we’ve gotta look at what’s driving them. We’ll talk about sensory overwhelm, defiance, and other biggies that get kids in trouble and have you on the edge of your seat.
