Ep. 173: Are Connected Kids always Cooperative

The Baffling Behavior Show {Parenting after Trauma}

If regulated, connected kids who feel safe do well, does that mean connected kids are always cooperative?

Definitely not! In fact, there’s a level of connection to others- and to themselves! - that invites in the safety to be UNcooperative!
In this episode, you’ll learn

• How safety can invite both cooperative and UNcooperative behavior
• Why too much cooperation would actually be a bad thing
• How parenting with co-regulation and connection helps kids become more connected to themselves

Resources mentioned in this podcast:

• Is Understanding Behavior Just Excusing It? {EP 109}
