| 4/3/24 | Flipping Lids and Finding Calm: Brain Science Part 2 - S02 E10 (#20) | 💬 Show Notes In this episode of Connected Parenting Minute, Will and CarrieAnn Standfest return for the much-anticipated part two of their brain science series. They continue to unravel the mysteries of the brain, focusing on the powerful concept of 'flipping one's lid.' With their signature blend of warmth and wisdom, the Standfests explain how the brain's processing systems—from the survival-oriented brainstem to the emotional limbic system and the logical cortex—can sometimes go offline during moments of stress, leading children (and adults) to react in survival mode, unable to access reasoning or language. They introduce the hand model of the brain, a simple yet profound tool to visualize these brain systems and their responses. Will and CarrieAnn also provide practical, real-world strategies for parents to catch early signs of distress in their children, engage their thinking brains, and help them (and themselves) regulate before a full-blown lid flip occurs. They emphasize the importance of practicing these techniques outside the moment of crisis, ensuring that both parents and children are equipped to handle stress with grace and understanding. Whether it's using proprioceptive inputs like deep breathing and oral stimuli or modeling self-regulation by taking a step back during heated moments, this episode is filled with actionable advice. Tune in to learn how to foster a sense of safety and resilience in your family, and remember, it's not about being perfect—it's about getting better one connected parenting minute at a time.
