Parents

Hello Connected Parents and welcome to another episode of Connected Parenting.

I hope you're doing well.

Today's episode is one that I think is going to resonate with so many of you because it describes something that I see almost every single day in my practice.

Join me every week and we'll tackle everything from temper tantrums to bedtime to sibling issues to teenage angst.

Parenting can be so wonderful, but it can be so hard.

Parents often say to me, hey, can you just come live at my house? This is the next best thing.

Let's do this together.

OK, so why is this so hard? Right.

My guest today is Dr. Roseanne Kapanahaj, a trusted expert in emotional and behavioral dysregulation, creator of Regulation First Parenting and the CALMS Disregulation Protocol, host of the Top 1% Disregulated Kids podcast, and author of the upcoming book, The Disregulated Kid.

Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, and Parents Magazine.

And today, she's walking us through why regulating the nervous system is not a bypass of faith.

It's stewardship of the body God gave us.

Hello, Connected Parents, and welcome to another episode of Connected Parenting.

In today's episode, I want to discuss the good child and put that in quotations.

So what often happens when you have a gladiator child, a child who is misbehaving all the time and pushing back all the time and tantruming and complaining and kind of sucking the oxygen out of the room.

Join me every week and we'll tackle everything from temper tantrums to bedtime to sibling issues to teenage angst.

Parenting can be so wonderful, but it can be so hard.

Parents often say to me, hey, can you just come live at my house? This is the next best thing.

Let's do this together.

All right, so this is a dynamic I see all the time.

Let's get to it.

The way that we were raised, we are all the product of that one way or the other, but to what extent? Parents are driven these days to produce the child who is the happiest, or the best, or the smartest, or fill in whatever your superlative is, and then there's the whole question of free range, or helicopter, or tiger, or what zip code do you choose to live in, or can you live in, and what about education, and what about the food you give your child? It is so much to think about and worry about, but what if science is telling mothers and fathers don't sweat it, it's out of your control more than you think because DNA is making most of the big decisions for you.

This, since ancient time, has been a persisting quandary, usually called nature versus nurture, but because of new evidence based on DNA research and on twin studies and on sibling studies, we are reviving the controversy that has revived itself because we think it has the makings of a fresh debate.

So let's have it.

We both once worked there.

Nice to see you again.

You served as editor-in-chief of Parents Magazine for over a decade.

It is great to have you here.

Absolutely.

In fact, writer for Parents Magazine asked therapists to weigh in.

Therapist says completely normal for you to feel.

I mean, let's face it.

But that was when I first got articles.

It was in Washington Post, Fox News, MSNBC, NBC, and People and Parents Magazine.

Holy fuck.

That's actually lit as fuck.

Stoner also did Ajax, The Sun Man, and Iron Monroe in Doc Savage comics.

There he did The Blue Beetle No. 31 on June of 1944 for Victor Fox's Fox Comics where he soon became the go-to cover artist on the books like The Green Mask, The Bouncer, and Rocky Kelly.
