The Art of Attachment

Attachment First: Helping Children Calm Down Without Power Struggles

Natalie Larson Season 3 Episode 3

Keep connected! Let me know if there is anything you need support with!

In this episode of The Art of Attachment, we explore how parents, caregivers, and therapists can help children calm down without falling into power struggles. You’ll learn why emotional regulation is built through co-regulation first, not correction, and discover three simple strategies to support a child’s developing brain. We’ll also share easy, creative activities — like emotion coloring and calm down jars — that make emotional regulation more accessible at home and in therapy. Plus, don’t miss the free Attachment Starter Guide linked in the show notes!
