A common notion as regards anger is that it is a deliberate act of defiance or a lack of respect, but in reality, it is often a sign of nervous system dysregulation. When children become angry, they are not necessarily choosing to misbehave; rather, they are struggling with overwhelming emotions they have not yet learned to regulate. Understanding anger through this lens allows us to respond with empathy rather than frustration, helping children develop healthier ways to process their

Managing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) without medication is both possible and effective when approached through nervous system regulation. More often than not, medication does not address the root cause of OCD but instead focuses on symptom management.

This is why there's a great need to have a holistic approach that targets brain function, behavioral

Parenting is not an easy journey, and in moments of frustration or worry, it’s tempting to fall into fear-based parenting—using threats, punishments, or even guilt to discipline and push kids toward good behavior.
