  1. 275 Before You Try to Calm Your Child, Do This First with Ann Swanson Dinalynn Rosenbush, SLP | Speech Pathologist, Parent Mentor, Communication with Kids 30:50

Hey Friends~ 

What if the fastest way to help your child become calm… is to begin with yourself?

In this episode, Ann shares the power of co-regulation and reminds us that our state is contagious. The good news? Calm is contagious, too.

You’ll discover simple ways to release tension from your own body, use your breath to create a greater sense of peace, and even learn a beautiful visualization that can help settle both you and your child. Ann also guides us through gentle meditations that are especially helpful for children who are waiting, winding down, or falling asleep.

Whether you’re looking for practical ways to bring more calm into everyday moments or bedtime has become a struggle  this conversation offers tools you can begin using today

Always cheering you on!
