Turn Down the Noise

Overstimulation is an invisible epidemic in our world―and it is impacting you and your child more than you realize.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed and burnt out by the exhaustion of daily life, flattened by the sheer amount of noise and distraction in your home, your schedule, your brain you aren’t alone.

What’s more, overstimulation is a key driver of our children’s behaviors, contributing to increased symptoms in anxiety, depression, and attentional diagnoses. In the fast-paced culture of our world, is it possible to set our children up to thrive in emotional health?

Sarah Boyd (M.Ed Psych), child and adolescent development expert and founder of the educational company Resilient Little Hearts, believes it is possible to turn down the noise of overstimulation and chronic stress for you and your family. In her new book, she gives you the psychological frameworks and simple practical tools to turn down the noise of overstimulation and stress, so that you can cultivate emotional health for your child and family.
