EP 225: How to Stay Curious When Behavior Makes No Sense
When your child’s behavior leaves you feeling confused, frustrated, or even hopeless, staying curious might be the last thing on your mind.
But curiosity is actually SO COOL! It’s both a parenting strategy AND a nervous system state.
In this episode, we’ll explore how to access curiosity, even when behavior makes no sense, and how that curiosity helps us find the path forward.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why curiosity is a sign your owl brain is online, and how to use curiosity to invite your owl brain back when it’s not
- A powerful question to shift your lens from “what’s wrong?” to “what’s needed?”
- How baffling behavior can reveal clues about what regulation, safety, or connection your child is missing?
