Navigating the Social Norms vs Natural Regulation
Update: 2025-02-14
Description
EP: 128 Our kids' head-banging, rocking, and constant movement aren't just concerning behaviors - they're natural ways they're trying to regulate their nervous systems. As a mom of preemies, I know how much deep pressure and sensory input my babies needed to soothe and settle.
Things like pacifiers and thumb-sucking aren't just social norms, they're our kids' innate ways of calming their developing brains and bodies. Instead of stripping away these natural regulation methods, we need to observe the patterns, support their needs, and create space for their incredible ability to self-regulate. It's a journey, but so worth it for their long-term mental health.
