Shownotes

In this episode of The Healing Mothers’ Club, Danik is joined by bilingual educator and child development consultant Natasha Demers to explore how a child’s environment directly impacts behavior, regulation, and family stress—especially after the holidays. Together, they unpack how toy overload, clutter, and overstimulation can lead to dysregulation, and how intentional, values-based home setups can support calmer play, independence, and nervous system safety for both kids and parents.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How clutter, toy overload, and overstimulation affect children’s behavior and regulation
  • Simple, realistic toy rotation and home setup strategies for small or open-concept spaces
  • Letting go of guilt around purging, donating, or storing toys in different seasons of parenting
