Mirra Wicker ⭐️Licensed Therapist ⭐️ Parent Coach on Instagram: "Co-regulation is not just a parenting strategy; it’s a profound way we can support our children’s emotional development from the very beginning. When you see a parent, like my husband in this video, soothing and supporting our daughter, you’re witnessing the foundational work that helps her learn to manage her emotions effectively. This nurturing interaction does more than calm her in the moment; it helps her brain form the pathways needed to handle stress and regulate her own emotions as she grows. Research underscores the long-term benefits of this process: children who experience consistent emotional support are better equipped to face life’s challenges, both in and out of the classroom. They develop higher emotional inte
RACHEL HULTEEN - CPT & NUTRITION COACH on Instagram: "I always feel a little silly sharing parenting advice or anything related because I know I’m only 7 years in and have a lot to learn. But…I’m always taking notes on what has actually helped me. Legit, I type it out in my notes app when someone gives me words of wisdom that makes me feel better while on my motherhood journey. These are some, of many, that have helped me. Enjoy 💗"
Alisha Grogan on Instagram: "Comment CRAVE to get our free sensory activities list, it’s filled with proprioceptive ideas to help your kid regulate! You know that rough and tumble kid who can’t get enough crashing, squeezing, biting, falling? They might be seeking out proprioceptive input to regulate their sensory system! Our kids show us what their sensory systems need through the way they act, behave, and respond to the world around them- It’s all communication! Our body is covered in proprioceptive receptors, and when we jump, run, or get squeezed they get activated. Some kids SEEK OUT this type of input because it regulates their system and some kids need it because all those proprioceptive receptors give us our sense of body awareness. Body awareness is what helps us not bump
ER Doc+Mom | Baby-Proofing + Child Safety on Instagram: "If your child is doing one of these, that’s a sign that they have increased “work of breathing” - meaning it’s time to get them to see their doctor. ETA: check out my post on 1/19/25, for an example of “grunting” in a baby This does NOT mean that you need to panic - I’m showing you these, because some can be subtle, and parents don’t know what to look for unless they’re trained. NOW you can also know how to recognize these while they’re still early and subtle, and get your kiddo seen. ALSO, if you know what these are, you can use the words describing them, when talking to your physician and nurse, as that helps us give your child the best care, when we all are using the same vocabulary. For reference: “Normal” breathing rate (b
Karen Abou Jaoude & Sarah Raslan: Parent coaches on Instagram: "The secret to helping your kid with ANY struggle? Show them how you’d do it. Seriously, it really is that simple. Rather than instructing our children, demonstrating the behaviour ourselves can be much more impactful. Kids are observant. They watch and mimic our actions more than we realise. Consistently modelling how to handle challenges teaches them practical ways to navigate their own difficulties, like dealing with picky eating. Watch and learn how I guide my kiddo through the challenge of eating foods I don’t love, showing her hands-on how to embrace those tricky moments."
