Nervous System Resets

Updated: Jan 10

If you haven't realized this already, now you'll know, that half of what I've learned comes from experience as a parent of Early Intervention kiddos and the other half to a sister who is a very experienced momma in everything "nervous system".


It was becoming something that our little people clearly needed. Something to help them start fresh at the end of the school day, as we got deeper into the school year. Lack of food and hydration during the school day, along with the hustle and bustle of school made for complete dysregulation. I turned to my sister for guidance! She quickly advised what she has been doing for years with her little! We started doing a daily "Nervous System Reset" after school each day. Now our routine is as follows:


  1. Wash your hands with soap and warm water.

  2. Eat something.

  3. Drink something.

  4. Reset your nervous system.


The kids have the checklist above posted in the car on the back of the seats in front of them (another hack from sissy) and they pick from a Nervous System chart on the wall in our dining room (picture shown below). This has been a 𝗚𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 and while they fought the change in routine at first, it is automatic to them now!
