What if your child's behavior isn't the problem, but a clue pointing to something happening underneath? In this episode of Full Focus by Neurobiologix, Heather Morgan welcomes back Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, a nationally recognized expert in children's mental health and author of the new book The Dysregulated Kid: The Parenting Playbook for Helping Your Child Find Calm in a Chaotic World.
Dr. Roseann makes the case that meltdowns, focus struggles, anxiety, and big emotions are often signs of a nervous system stuck in a stress state, not a discipline problem. Drawing on 30 years of clinical work and more than 10,000 QEEG brain maps, she explains why regulation has to come first, before behavior, before any other intervention can take hold.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
- The "stress cup" model and why so many kids (and parents) are overflowing
- Why parents have to regulate themselves first, since kids sync to the loudest nervous system in the room
- How genetics and nutrigenomic testing help identify the biological factors influencing regulation
- The role of foundational nutrients like magnesium and vitamin D in supporting a calm nervous system
- Dr. Roseann's simple three-step regulation practice you can start today
