Quiet isn’t the goal. Trust is. A regulated child isn’t one who never gets upset. It’s a child who knows they can come to you with their big feelings, messy moments, and imperfect words… and still feel safe in your relationship. Emotional safety is what allows kids to grow emotional intelligence, practice hard skills, and come back to connection after missteps. And the truth is, kids learn that safety from our steadiness, not their silence. If you want to deepen emotional safety at home, start with your own regulation. Their nervous system calibrates to yours more than anything you say. #SeedAndSew #AlyssaBlaskCampbell #BigKidsBiggerFeelings #EmotionalSafety #GentleParenting #ConsciousParenting #ParentingTools #EmotionalIntelligence #RegulationSkills #NervousSystemSupport
