Скачать или смотреть Ep15 Motion Calms Emotions: Movement and Nervous System Regulation in Children with Tami Lysher

In this episode of Wait, Am I Saving the World?, host Carrie sits down with educator and movement specialist Tami Lysher, who brings over 40 years of experience in early childhood education, trauma-informed care, and nervous system integration.

Tami shares how movement, breathwork, and connection play a critical role in helping children regulate their nervous systems—especially children impacted by trauma, sensory challenges, ADHD, and learning differences. Through her framework Move Into Calm, she explains why children are not meant to sit still, how stress and trauma show up in the body, and why regulation must come before learning.

This conversation explores the powerful connection between parent and child regulation, practical ways adults can support co-regulation, and simple movement strategies that can be woven into everyday life at home or in the classroom. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or caregiver, this episode offers grounded, body-based insights to help children feel safe, connected, and ready to learn.

In this episode, we cover:

Why movement supports brain development and emotional regulation

How trauma and chronic stress affect children’s learning and behavior

The role of parent and educator self-regulation

Simple movement and breathwork tools for daily routines

Why every behavior is an unmet need
