Regenerative Parenting

When you learn to self-regulate you'll feel like a superhero. You'll be able to expertly handle mishaps and melt-downs, disappointments and disasters without losing your head or saying things you later regret. If your nervous system is dysregulated then you can't effectively co-regulate with your children. Your children need their parent to be the calming lighthouse when life feels stormy, to support them in their big feeling without catching those big feelings and amplifying them further. Children deserve a parent who can keep their head when all about them are losing theirs. And that's what regenerative parenting is all about. "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself". Rumi. It all begins with you. What you feel inside radiates out of you and impacts on those around you. Whether that impact is regulating or dysregulating is up to you.
