Slamming Doors to Peace: How to Calm a Dysregulated Child

In this episode of the Connected Families podcast, we explore how to calm a dysregulated child with insights from Certified Connected Families Parent Coaches Alan and Corrie Thetford. Together they share how they evolved from demanding immediate calm to modeling self-regulation, creating playful learning opportunities, and viewing emotional outbursts as chances to experience God’s grace.

NOTE: This content is for every parent. Even if your kids don’t seem to fall into the category of sensitive and intense, the concepts that we teach are helpful for all families because everyone encounters big emotions, sensitivities and challenging behavior at some point.

Key points:

Shifting from control to connection
Biblical foundation for parenting
Four-step approach to teaching self-regulation
Reframing conflict as opportunity
