I’m so excited you’re here! This podcast will help you reclaim peace in your home, restore confidence in your parenting approach, and rebuild connection with your neurodivergent child as you turn big emotions and 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 intense 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 with emotioanal dysregulation.
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 dynamic 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 to emotional regulation!
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 neurotypical 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!

53. Why “Fun Days” Aren't Fun for Emotionally Dysregulated Kids: Understanding Holiday Triggers, Meltdowns, and Sensory Overload
For many kids, class parties, school spirit days, and holiday activities mean excitement and fun—but for emotionally dysregulated or neurodivergent children, they can mean stress, overwhelm, and meltdowns. In this episode, we’ll unpack why these “fun” days can be so tough and how to help your child stay calm, connected, and confident through it all.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why holiday events and routine changes can trigger dysregulation.
- How sensory overload and unpredictability impact your child’s behavior.
- Simple ways to prepare your child and partner with teachers or caregivers.
- How to create calm exits, recovery plans, and supportive conversations.
- The key mindset shift that helps you see behavior as communication, not defiance.
Needing some additional support to get your through the holidays? Check out the Calm Connection Coaching Program where you can find helpful support and tools that actually work with your uniquely wired child! I’m here to walk with you!
