What if the challenging behavior you're seeing isn't really the problem, but a sign of what's happening underneath?
In this week's guest episode of Connected Parenting, Jennifer sits down with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, a therapist, certified school psychologist, author, podcast host, and Mom who has spent more than 30 years working with children and families. Together, they explore dysregulation, the nervous system, and why understanding what's driving a child's behavior can completely change the way we respond to it.
Dr. Roseann shares insights from her work and her book, The Dysregulated Kid, helping parents understand why talking, correcting, and giving consequences may not work when a child's nervous system is already overwhelmed.
This conversation offers parents a practical and compassionate way to understand difficult behavior while helping children build the regulation skills they need to navigate stress, emotions, and everyday life.
