Dysregulated Kids: Science-Backed Parenting Help for Behavior, Anxiety, ADHD and More

Are you tired of the daily battles, the problems with listening and focus, meltdowns over minor frustrations, and the constant feeling of walking on eggshells in your own home? If you’re a parent who feels overwhelmed, stuck in a cycle of reactivity, and utterly exhausted from trying to manage your child’s challenging behaviors, you are not alone. You’ve tried everything—the sticker charts, the timeouts, the endless negotiations—but nothing creates lasting change.
The answer isn’t more discipline. The secret is understanding the brain. Welcome to Dysregulated Kids: Science-Backed Parenting Help, the podcast that is revolutionizing the way we parent.

Hosted by Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, a licensed therapist, school psychologist and author with over 30 years of experience in children’s mental health and recognized by Forbes as a thought leader in children’s mental health, this podcast is your lifeline. Dr. Roseann pulls back the curtain on why your child or teen is struggling, whether they have a clinical diagnosis like ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, OCD, Depression, Dyslexia, Executive Functioning challenges, Lyme, or PANS/PANDAS, or are simply navigating the ups and downs of everyday life.Her revolutionary Regulation First Parenting™ approach teaches that calming the nervous system is the first step before you can connect, teach, or help your child learn.

In short, actionable episodes, Dr. Roseann gives you proven tools like the CALMS Protocol™, quick nervous system reset tools and co-regulation strategies to move your child (and yourself!) from stress and reactivity to calm, connection, and resilience. You’ll learn what to say and do to de-escalate meltdowns in the moment, how to build your child’s emotional regulation skills, and how to improve their executive functioning and attention so they can succeed at home, at school, and in life.

Imagine shifting your entire perspective from seeing “defiance” to understanding “dysregulation.” Picture yourself feeling confident and equipped, knowing exactly how to respond in those tough parenting moments. This is the transformation that awaits you. Parents discover how to break free from the reactivity cycle and build a more connected, joyful family—going from helpless and frustrated to empowered and hopeful.

Here’s what you can expect from Dysregulated Kids:
Real Solutions for Real Problems – Whether you’re dealing with ADHD, anxiety, sensory overload, meltdowns, or everyday struggles, Dr. Roseann brings strategies that actually work.

It’s for parents of neurodivergent children or kids struggling with mental health challenges.

Your Mom™

Ashley Adamson and Lisa McCaffrey return for Season 2 of Your Mom™, a podcast that celebrates the messy, magical, maddening experience of motherhood—and the women behind the world’s most impressive humans.

Join us as we sit down with the moms of world-class athletes and high-achievers to hear personal stories of parenting that are equal parts extraordinary and exactly like your last Tuesday.

In Season 1, we realized something powerful: when moms are given the space to share their own stories—not just their kids’—something shifts. So this year, we’re expanding the lens. We’re digging deeper into the power of storytelling itself—how it shapes identity, creates connection, and helps us make sense of this wild ride.

To help us do that, we’ve added two new voices to the pod: Chantal Below and Betsy Bloom—sharp, soulful storytellers who aren’t afraid to go there.

We’re so grateful you’re here. Drop us a line, a rant, or a rave at ashley@yourmom.co. We’re listening.

RAISING HER CONFIDENTLY | Connecting with Teens, Parenting Styles, Family Communication, Raising Teen Daughters

Do you want to have open communication with your teen daughter? Do you find yourself up late at night constantly thinking about how to talk to your teen or why she’s not opening up to you? Do you wake up with confident intentions only to feel confused and frustrated when you get 1-word answers from your daughter or instead of the deep conversations you hoped to have, you end up in a yelling match?

Hi, I’m Jeannie. I think back to when I was 13. I was that teenage girl you are googling about! Rebellious, hard to figure out, “hard-headed” as my mom would call me. She even said, “I don’t even know who you are anymore!”

Several years later, I too found myself raising young teens. I too felt grieved by the loss of my sweet talkative little girl! I wanted her to come to me about anything even if she was scared and listen to my advice.

My passion for healthy families as a former educator, a homeschooling family for several years, and a zeal to impact young teen girls has led me to train in the Coach Model and partner with moms like you and guide them to create safe, healthy relationships with their teens.

In this podcast, I share tools and resources to help improve communication with your teen girl and strengthen your relationship with her. I’m providing you ways to talk to your teen through relationship-building exercises to make intentional connections, establish boundaries to create that safe space, and build a trust-worthy community of healthy friends and influence to confidently get you through this season of raising a teen girl.

So grab that oat milk latte and let’s raise her confidently together!
