  • Raising Emotionally Regulated Kids in a Dysregulated World | The Mindful Mantis (Sondra Bakinde & Mariana Gordon)
    Mar 2 2026

    Emotional regulation for kids, gentle parenting, nervous system healing, and mindfulness tools for modern moms — this episode explores how to raise emotionally regulated children in today’s overstimulated world.


    What if our kids didn’t have to spend their 20s and 30s learning how to regulate emotions we never learned ourselves?


    In today’s overstimulated, screen-saturated, anxiety-heavy world, emotional regulation isn’t optional — it’s survival.


    In this episode of EmotionAL Support, I sit down with the creators of The Mindful Mantis, a children’s mindfulness movement teaching breathwork, emotional intelligence, meditation, and communication skills to kids as young as three.


    As a mom navigating mental health, nervous system healing, and raising a deeply empathetic preschooler, I know first hand how long it can take to understand your emotions. So the question becomes: what if we gave our kids the tools early?


    We talk about:


    • ​ Why ages 0–7 shape lifelong emotional patterns
    • ​ The overdiagnosis conversation happening in schools
    • ​ Breathwork and “pause” as powerful parenting tools
    • ​ Teaching kids how to communicate instead of suppress
    • ​ Modeling emotional regulation (even when you mess up)
    • ​ Homeschooling, Montessori, and alternative education
    • ​ How to build resilience without raising perfect kids


    This conversation isn’t about being the flawless gentle parent. We love Disney and Dippin’ Dots over here. It’s about raising emotionally safe children in a chaotic world — without losing yourself in the process.


    If you’re a millennial mom trying to break cycles, regulate your own nervous system, and raise grounded kids who know how to feel, this episode is for you.


    Because maybe emotional regulation doesn’t start at 30.


    Maybe it starts at 3.


    Follow EmotionAL Support for honest conversations about motherhood, mental health, reinvention, and raising emotionally strong children in today’s world.
