Hi, I'm Dr. David A Palmer -
Your Nervous System Parenting Coach
For years, I sat with parents who were exhausted, heartbroken, and wondering why nothing seemed to work for their child. I saw the same frustration in their eyes that I once felt myself—when every day felt like an uphill climb.
Then I realized something that changed everything: emotional dysregulation isn’t a behavior problem—it’s a nervous system issue. When I started approaching it that way, the breakthroughs came.
