This is such a good point, and important distinction for parents and teachers to remember ❣️

It can be hard not to correct our child’s tone. But tone of voice is a signal from the nervous system. It’s actually a sign that they are trying to hold it together, trying not to be mean or lash out.

You know when you’re frustrated but trying not to flip your lid?

And you might have a bit of a “tone” during that time?

The tone you have is not a reflection of your relationship quality, it’s a reflection of your feelings. I think this is why some people shut down, verbally, when they are mad because they know they can’t speak without sounding mad and they’ve been taught not to sound like that because it’s “rude.” So how do you respond in those moments? With co-regulation and connection.

This is a little excerpt from my book….

Finding Your Calm: Responsive Parents Guide to Self-Regulation and Co-Regulation
�This book combines my knowledge of child development, brain science and trauma to offer parents a unique resource that includes lots of exercises, reflections, insights and also… links to additional research, articles and videos that can help support your healing and learning journey.
