How a Regulated Parent Nervous System Transforms Your Child’s Behavior w/ Dr. Ray Doktor EP 197

What if the most powerful parenting tool isn’t a script, a strategy, or a consequence — but your own nervous system? In this conversation, Dr. Ray Doktor shares how a parent’s internal state becomes the quiet teacher shaping a child’s behavior, confidence, and sense of self.

We explore practical ways to create emotional safety at home, from breath cues and tone awareness to boundaries that feel steady rather than harsh or permissive. Ray opens up about his own journey into fatherhood and the rituals that helped his son thrive through uncertainty, social pressures, and online influences.

You’ll learn:

  • How your nervous system directly affects child behavior
  • Tools for co-regulation and emotional resilience
  • What to say (and not say) during big emotional moments
  • How to use stories and films to teach feelings + identity
  • Navigating social media without damaging self-worth
  • Repairing ruptures and owning parental projections
  • How transparency builds trust at any age

If you’re ready to parent with more calm, clarity, and connection, this episode is a must-listen.
