  Guest Episode with The Toddler Whisperer: Gabriele Nicolet

  Sep 17, 202641 minS1

  What’s actually happening when a child melts down—and what are parents supposed to do in the middle of it? In this episode, I’m joined by child development specialist, speech therapist, parenting coach, and host of the Complicated Kids Podcast , Gabrielle Nicolet. We talk about toddler behavior, emotional regulation, transitions, boundaries, and why kids can know the rules and still be completely unable to follow them when they’re overwhelmed. We also explore how these ideas apply to neurodivergent and developmentally delayed children, whose “toddler-like” behaviors may last well beyond the toddler years. Gabrielle shares practical ways parents can stay grounded, hold boundaries without escalating the situation, and look underneath difficult behavior to understand what their child may actually be communicating. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why does my child do this when they KNOW better?”—this conversation is for you. Interested in hearing more from Gabriele?

  Stuck in Fight-or-Flight

  Jun 16, 202611 minS1

  Today's episode is all about how the stress response develops. I see the phrase (and even use it sometimes) "stuck in fight-or-flight" often! It is a description I see a lot for kids who have a lot of big intense reactions to the world and seem consistently stressed or on edge. In this episode we look at how the stress response develops and what it looks like as we age. If children have an immature stress response, they do overreact to the world and physiologically experience more stress than their peers. These are the kids that seem like they are constantly stuck in a state of stress. Check out my website to learn more.
