Calm Connection Parenting- Meltdowns, Challenging Behaviors, Emotional Dysregulation, Connected Parenting, Parenting Struggles, Parenting Guidance
Do you wish you didn’t have to live like you were walking on eggshells? Do you wish you felt confident going and doing things together as a family? Holding your breath, wondering how to even understand or help your child? Scared of the next meltdown? And feeling like a failure…
I’m so excited you’re here! This podcast will help you create peace in your home, feel more confident with effective tools, and build a connection with your child as you turn challenging behaviors into opportunities for growth.
Hi, I’m Jami, a mom of seven, professional counselor, parenting coach…and someone who’s been where you are…Trying to make sense of those challenging and often baffling behaviors and big emotions.
I was trying every good strategy I could think of, being more strict, being more consistent, searching for more solutions, and doing “all the things” that were “supposed” to work.
Finally, I realized that to calm my child’s intense emotions, I needed to understand his unique wiring, identify his specific needs, adjust my approach, and shift from control to connection. Once I made that shift, our family dynam was transformed, and I experienced a connection with my child that I feared I'd never know.
Now, I’m here to share these simple, faith-aligned, and effective strategies with you. You don’t have to feel overwhelmed anymore. You can create calm, build lasting connections, and help your child thrive with confidence and love. And I’m ready to guide you on this journey!
If you are ready to:
~ Ditch the overwhelm, build connection, and find peace in your home…
~ Discover simple, practical tools that are effective for your emotionally intense, highly sensitive child, and even your other children….
~ Embrace changes that make a real difference with less stress, more calm, and a strong family bond...
Then this podcast is for you!
So grab your coffee, find your quiet spot (if you can find one of those in your house), and let’s jump in. We’ll turn that chaos into calm ….one episode at a time!

31. Emotional Support Animals: An Effective Tool for Emotional Dysregulation and Highly Sensitive Children
What if a pet could be more than just a companion for your child? For children with heightened emotions or emotional dysregulation, pets can be a lifeline—offering more than just cuddles but playing a crucial role in helping them navigate the emotional ups and downs of everyday life. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story about Sparkles, the cat who was not just a pet, but an emotional support animal for one of our children. Together, we’ll explore the profound impact that emotional support animals can have on children’s well-being and how they can help soothe the storms of their intense emotions.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The Role of Emotional Support Animals (ESAs): How pets, especially for emotionally intense children, can provide emotional grounding and regulation when no one else can.
- The Unbreakable Bond Between Pets and Children: The deep connection that can form between a child and their pet, and how this bond supports emotional growth.
- The Science Behind Emotional Healing: How interacting with animals can help reduce stress and anxiety while boosting overall emotional well-being.
- Supporting Grief and Loss: What to do when a child experiences the loss of a pet who has been an emotional anchor, and how to help them process their grief.
- The Benefits Beyond Cuddles: Why having an emotional support animal might be more critical for highly sensitive children than you think, and the life-changing support they offer.
