Regulation Before Cooperation: The Key to Calming Kids
Have you ever asked your child five times to put on their shoes and they still don’t listen? Before you assume defiance, pause. In this episode of the Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast, I dive into the powerful connection between regulation and cooperation—and why your child may not be ignoring you at all.
We’ll explore what’s really happening in your child’s body when they seem “defiant,” the role of the vagus nerve as the body’s hidden calm switch, and how the mouth and nervous system are more connected than most providers realize. Plus, I’ll share simple tools and calming exercises you can use at home to help your child move from survival mode back into safety mode, opening the door for true cooperation.
Remember—regulation comes before cooperation. The next time your child won’t listen, try pausing, breathing, and supporting their nervous system first.
