This is episode 20 and today I’m here with Dr. Azine Graff talking about emotional regulation.

Azine is a mother, psychologist, and co-founder of Harmony in Parenting in LA. She is passionate about supporting parents and children in working through daily challenges through connection.

Adventure of the Week

I share our adventures at the Issaqua Salmon Hatchery, South Sound Nature School, and Bob’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch.

Highlights

Brain Development: We give some context to this conversation by going over where a child’s brain development is and how that affects their emotional regulation.

Mirroring: We talk about how mirroring and role modeling makes our own emotional regulation one of the most powerful forces in helping our children.

Accept/Reflect/Validate Feelings: We share what it looks and sounds like to accept, reflect, and validate our children’s feelings and experience and why it’s important.

Connection: We go over how to keep our compasses set to connection even in the hard moments.

Small Collaboration: We cover how we help our kids to move forward from emotional dysregulations, including repairing any harm or damage.

Big Collaboration: We share the essential step of brainstorming together around prevention, steps/tools, and practice.

Q+A

We tackle this question from Pascale: “What are the consequences of not meeting this need in children? What does it look like? How does it manifest?”

I work from an island in the Pacific Northwest, where I live wild and free in connection with my hilarious husband and three growing sailors in our fixer upper on the beach. I authentically live this healing work out loud raising my own neurodivergent family (inner child included) and draw on my decades of education and experience (I've done all the nerdy work so you don't have to) to guide a revolution of overwhelmed parents just like you to feeling at peace within yourself, consciously connected with your children, embraced by a supportive community, and enjoying a values-aligned life you love.
