The vagus nerve is your body's brake pedal for stress, and one of the only places it reaches the skin is the ear 👂 What I do at home as a mom: gentle squeezes from the top of the ear down to the lobe, two slow pulls on the lobe, then repeat. Slow and gentle, and always let your child opt out 🤍 Save this for the next meltdown. My Sensory Seeker Survival Toolkit is linked in my bio 💛 Follow @modernmomuniversity for more nervous system tools for moms and kids. #vagusnerve #sensoryseeker #meltdownhelp #nervoussystemregulation #adhdkids
