46. Regulating a Dysregulated Child With Wilderness Therapist Les Harris
Manage episode 371076579 series 3389590
Today, I’m joined by Les Harris, a wilderness therapist and LCW to talk about the things we can do as parents before thinking of sending our kids to wilderness. Here’s one thing both Les and I know to be true:
A regulated parent has the ability to regulate a dysregulated child.
Isn’t that what we all want to be able to do?
If this feels unattainable for you right now, know that it’s not. You can see this episode as a first stepping stone toward the parent you want to be.
In this episode on regulating a dysregulated child, we discuss:
- Labeling & diagnosing our teens;
- Things we can do in our homes before thinking about wilderness;
- Regulating your own emotions in response to your child’s behavior;
- How we sometimes send inconsistent messages to our kids;
- Tips on how parents can regulate their emotions;
- Why parents nowadays are more distracted and unavailable;
- As parents we make mistakes, and that’s okay.
