About this episode
This episode discusses how the pursuit of calm can hinder behavior change and offers a practical shift to improve regulation.
Calm feels like the goal when the day has been loud, intense, or overwhelming. But chasing quiet moments can actually make behavior harder to change over time. This episode reframes what regulation really looks like and gives one practical shift to try this week. Connect with VITA! www.vitapeds.com IG: @vitapediatrics
