If you have ever watched your child tense up right when you did and felt a stab of fear that they are catching it from you, this is for you. A household runs on the calmest nervous system in it. The good news hiding in that worry is simple: the same channel that passes stress along can pass steadiness along too. Ten honest questions. No blame, and no wrong answers.
This is a reflective self-check for parents, not a diagnosis of you or your child. It looks at co-regulation, the way nervous systems in a home tune to each other, not at anyone’s worth as a parent. You are clearly a caring one, or you would not be here.
