When your child has an explosive meltdown over seemingly nothing, or completely shuts down during conflict, what's really going on?
In our upcoming episode, I sit down with Robyn Gobbel, a trauma-informed parenting expert and author of "Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviors," who brings a fascinating perspective on understanding challenging child behaviors through the lens of neuroscience.
Robyn introduces us to her unique framework of the "Owl, Watchdog, and Possum" - representing different states of our nervous system. She explains how these states influence our children's behaviors and why traditional discipline methods often fall short.
Through real-world examples and scientific insights, she helps parents understand that what we often label as "bad behavior" is actually their child's nervous system trying to find safety.
One of the most compelling parts of our conversation explores how parent communities play a crucial role in this journey. Robyn shares how being part of a supportive community helps parents develop their own sense of safety and regulation, which in turn helps them better support their children.
She also addresses why some children have such big reactions to small triggers, and offers practical strategies that work for kids of all ages.
Whether you're dealing with aggressive outbursts, emotional shutdowns, or just trying to better understand your child's behavior, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical tools for creating more connection and understanding in your relationship with your child.
Join us today for this enlightening conversation that might just transform how you view your child's challenging behaviors.
