Overwhelmed by your child’s big emotions?
Your child often seems to “hold it together” in other places but has frequent meltdowns at home and you are unsure what to do in the moment to help.
Confused by big reactions that seem to happen out of nowhere?
Your child has big reactions to seemingly small things and you just want them to be able to “go with the flow” and don’t want things to be so hard for your child.
Worried about emotions/behaviors getting worse?
You just want your child to succeed. There is so much information out there and you're not sure what to do. You need guidance and support to help your child thrive.
Exhausted from trying to help your child navigate big emotions?
You feel stuck in survival mode and want to shift from reacting to emotions to helping prevent meltdowns. You are struggling to respond with patience even though you want to.
If your child's big emotions have you wondering “What do I do?”

Book a CallIt may seem like your child's big emotions and behaviors are coming out of nowhere.
But they’re not.
Your child is working hard all day to:
- Follow directions
- Meet expectations
- Process sensory input
- Keep their emotions in check
Their skills are still developing and they are not yet capable of regulating their emotions on their own.
Your child needs you to lead the way to calm.
“Parents are the most powerful tool in helping their kids navigate big emotions. But without a map, it can be so overwhelming.”
Meet your coach
Hi, I’m Kaitlyn.
I'm a wife, mom, and occupational therapist, and I whole-heartedly believe kids do well when they can. I have nearly 8 years of clinical experience supporting children navigating big emotions. Kids need the skills to manage emotions, but so do parents. That's why I built Co-Regulation Compass; I want more parents to think like an OT when it comes to regulation. Parents are the most powerful tool in helping their kids navigate big emotions. But without a map, it can be so overwhelming.
Every parent knows their child best, and I want to help you understand your child even more so you feel less overwhelmed, more connected, and more confident in navigating big emotions.
