The Dysregulated Kid

When every day feels like a meltdown waiting to happen, hope can feel far away. This compassionate road map helps parents understand what’s really driving their child’s behaviour—and gives them the tools to bring calm, connection, and confidence back home.

The Dysregulated Kid offers a compassionate, science-backed road map to transform homes from stress-filled to thriving. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge’s CALMS Protocol and Regulation First Parenting approach addresses emotional dysregulation at its core, helping families reset the nervous system, manage challenging behaviour, and build lasting resilience. Using plain-language neuroscience, real-life case studies, and actionable exercises, parents learn to replace meltdowns with calm, foster confidence, and strengthen family bonds. Beyond quick fixes, this book equips parents to nurture thriving children and reclaim joy, balance, and meaningful connection in daily family life.
