The conversation explores co-regulation, understanding behavior as communication, and practical tools for navigating big emotions.

Understanding Emotional Dysregulation in Kids
In this episode, Alyssa Booth joins Marci Mitchell and Debbie DiManno to explore what emotional dysregulation really looks like in children and teens. Alyssa explains how behaviors often labeled as “defiance” or “acting out” are frequently signs of overwhelm, anxiety, or unmet emotional needs. The conversation highlights the importance of shifting from punishment to curiosity, helping parents better understand what their child is experiencing internally. This perspective encourages families to move from reacting to responding with compassion and intention.
The Power of Co-Regulation and Connection
Alyssa emphasizes that children learn emotional regulation through co-regulation with trusted adults, not through lectures or discipline alone. Marci and Debbie discuss how staying calm as parents can help children feel safe enough to process big emotions. The episode explores practical ways to create connection during difficult moments, including validating feelings and slowing down reactions. By prioritizing connection, parents can build emotional resilience and stronger relationships with their children.
Building Long-Term Emotional Resilience
The conversation concludes with strategies for helping kids develop lifelong emotional skills and self-awareness. Alyssa shares how consistency, empathy, and modeling calm behavior can help children build confidence in handling challenges. Marci and Debbie reflect on how these tools empower parents to support their children while also caring for their own emotional well-being. This episode offers hope and practical guidance for families seeking calmer, more connected relationships.
