Understanding behavior helps us actually solve the problem, leads to compassion, and actually helps behavior to change, but first we must understand why we are so afraid that understanding behaviors means we are excusing "bad" behaviors.

Parents aren’t the only ones providing co-regulation — we need it too. In fact, connection is a biological imperative for every nervous system, including yours. When you’re raising kids with big, baffling behaviors, the imbalance in reciprocity can b... more

Your child’s behavior isn’t telling you the whole story. Their behavior is telling you just the story their nervous system is writing in that moment.

  • Years of adoring Robyn

    When I was a baby therapist, I had the honor of being trained by Robyn and was profoundly changed by what she taught me. So to later find her book, website, and podcast—oof—such a treat. Her words and resources continue to deeply impact me and the work I do with staff and students every day in my schools.

  • Interesting information but poor presentation

    To be fair of only listen to one episode of this show- episode 165 - but I found it more annoying than informative. Since I didn’t start at the beginning, there was some terminology to pick up on, but that proved easy enough. And some of the information struck me as true to my situation or my family situation, but following along was tedious due to two main factors. Number one, if this was an essay instead of a podcast. It was a good draft, but needed to be tightened up with some extra extra ext... more

  • So helpful, so inclusive

    I felt so much better after listening to this podcast. I felt so much less alone in having a neurodivergent child and it also helped me let go of some underlying shame I didn’t even realize I was carrying. I love how Robyn discusses the owl vs possum brain
