About this book

                  The Window of Tolerance Parenting

 Evidence-Based Nervous System Tools to Keep Kids in the Green Zone from Toddlers to Teens

Does your child flip into fight, flight, or freeze—and nothing you say seems to help? This book turns the window of tolerance into a simple, day-to-day parenting plan. You will learn how to co-regulate first, teach second, and keep kids in the green zone more of the time.

What you'll learn

A plain-English guide to the green, red, and blue zones (and what to do in each).

How your own nervous system sets the tone—and fast resets you can use anywhere.

Age-specific scripts for 2–5, 6–11, and 12–17 year-olds.

Step-by-step plans for mornings, school run, homework, and bedtime.

Calm-down strategies for sensory overload, shutdowns, and public meltdowns.

Repair after conflict: what to say, what not to say, and how to reconnect.

Simple checklists and routines you can repeat until they stick.

Who this book is for

Parents and carers who want fewer power struggles and more connection.

Families navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, or big feelings.

Teachers and helpers who want clear, ready-to-use language.

How to use this book

Read one short chapter a day.

Practise one reset with yourself, then one with your child.

Pick one routine (morning, homework, or bedtime) and run it for 7 days.

Track what works; adjust for your child's needs.

You don't need perfect calm or endless time. You need a clear plan you can use in the next five minutes. Start today and build a steadier, warmer home—one small step at a time.
