Ep. 126 - Top 12 Parent Regulation Strategies
In this episode I break down my top 12 physical and breath work exercises that I find to be the absolute most helpful. From a tiny space packed in an airplane with nowhere to go and people screaming all around you, to enough space you could freely move about. And yes, I set this to the holiday song “The 12 Days of Christmas.” Don’t hate me :) I really did try not to sing!

8 ear massages
7 hums of regulation
