The Window of Tolerance Parenting
Evidence-Based Nervous System Tools to Keep Kids in the Green Zone from Toddlers to Teens
Does your child flip into fight, flight, or freeze-and nothing you say seems to help? Parenting is easier when you understand the window of tolerance. This book turns the window of tolerance into a simple, day-to-day parenting plan. This practical guide shows how to keep children in the green zone more of the time-using calm, connection, and simple co-regulation steps you can use at home, at school drop-off, and in public.
