Written By Kirsten Kuzirian

Welcome to Wide Awake Parenting with Dr. Kirsten Kuzirian! In this premiere episode, we explore the fascinating science behind how your presence literally shapes your child's developing brain.

What You'll Discover:

  • How co-regulation works: your calm nervous system teaches your child's nervous system what safety feels like

  • Why "brain safety" is the foundation for learning, creativity, and connection

  • The difference between Wide Awake and autopilot parenting

  • How "good enough parenting" actually supports healthy development

  • Why different brains need different safety signals (neurodiversity-affirming approach)

  • Practical ways to access your own regulation when parenting feels overwhelming
