In today’s episode, we explore a powerful insight backed by neuroscience:children regulate emotionally not through our advice, but through our presence. Drawing from a recent study, we break down how a simple daily practice — asking a child about their day and responding with calm acknowledgment instead of problem-solving — can significantly strengthen emotional regulation. But this isn’t just about parenting. The same is true for inner child work.


Managing our own internal stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is so much easier when we understand how to connect with these small, vulnerable parts of ourselves. In doing so, the same principles apply:pressure escalates; presence regulates. You don’t need perfect words. You don’t need the right solution. You just need to show up without urgency. Presence creates the conditions for change. Join us for a discussion that might lead to your own epiphany! XOOX n.
