    68: Early Warning Signs: How to Spot Dysregulation in Your Kids.
    Jan 7 2025
    Today I'm sharing about the fascinating (and sometimes baffling) world of early warning signs of dysregulation in kids.
    Have you ever noticed your child getting overly silly, suddenly antagonizing their sibling, or making strange noises like growling or hissing?
    These little quirks aren’t random. They’re often signs that your child is beginning to feel emotionally overwhelmed or out of sync.
    When you learn to recognise these subtle cues, you can step in with calm and supportive strategies that help prevent meltdowns, build connection, and teach emotional resilience.
    Plus, a special guest makes an unexpected appearance! My daughter video-bombs the intro with some dance moves and plenty of giggles, so if you’re watching on YouTube, you’re in for a treat. You're welcome ;)
    (Watch at youtube.com/c/StephaniePinto)
    Tune in to learn the signs of emotional overwhelm by finding clues in your child's (frustrating) behaviour.

    67: Meltdowns and Shutdowns: The Neuroscience Behind Extreme Dysregulation
    Jan 1 2025
    Does your child or teen ever lash out, shut down, or completely refuse to listen? Maybe you’ve tried timeouts, threats, or punishments, but they just don’t work—or worse, they seem to make things even harder. Sound familiar? Here’s the thing: those big emotional outbursts are NOT about being “naughty” or “willful.” There’s so much more happening under the surface, in their brain and body, and that’s exactly what we’re diving into today. Today I’ll help you understand what’s *really* going on when your child is argumentative, explosive, or just plain "rude", why some of those old-school parenting tactics aren’t helpful, and, most importantly, how you can use positive strategies to co-regulate with them to bring their emotions back in balance and support their behaviour. If you’re ready to feel less overwhelmed and more connected to your child, you’re in the right place.
    And as I mentioned in the episode, I created a course specifically for this topic and these challenges. It's called Defusing and Decoding Challenging Behaviour, and it covers how understanding the nervous system of your child gives you the tools you need to navigate (and even often avoid) really challenging/disruptive behaviours.
    One parent who took the course emailed me within minutes of finishing the course saying: "STEPH. This is by far the BEST course I have taken, I finally get why my son erupts and goes off, and I feel like I have a whole bag of tools to deal with it! Thank you so so much. I'm recommending it to all my friends!"

Honest, real, topics that moved me deeply

I really enjoy Stephanie's easy to understand, conversational style. I like how she shares personal stories from parenting her own 2 kids. Stephanie's practical advice on how to diffuse a meltdown I could really relate to with my youngest.
The latest 2 episodes are especially good, parent burnout, that is a real issue and the latest podcast episode 7 is my favourite so far, "The words you wish you heard as a child". This one moved me deeply, I felt it close to my heart as my Love Language (Gary Chapman) is Words of Affirmation. This episode hit home and definitely brought up emotions, keep them coming my EQ is rising with each episode, thankyou. I cant recommend enough, listening to Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto - your kids will thankyou for it ;-)
