Your patience lives in your nervous system
Patience isn't really willpower — it's capacity. When your nervous system is depleted, that room shrinks.
You're not losing your patience because you don't love your kids. You're losing it because your body has run out of room.
Co-regulation: the quiet superpower
Children borrow our calm. When you steady your own nervous system, your child's begins to settle too.
