“As a mother of adult children, I wish I'd had this book 27 years ago. “Defusing The Parental Time Bomb” reveals the science behind what I intuitively felt but couldn't articulate - that our children absorb our stress before we even speak. This knowledge would have transformed my parenting journey, and now I want to share it with my adult sons and step-daughters. Also as a teacher I want to help colleagues and this is essential knowledge for today.”









You stay calm on the outside, but inside you’re tight, triggered, and trying not to explode. Your child senses it — even before you do.
That’s not intuition. It’s biology.
Science shows that your heart's electromagnetic field broadcasts your emotional state. And your child’s nervous system is built to tune in.
Until you learn to shift that state in real-time, no parenting strategy you try will stick.
You've read the books. You've tried the strategies. You've practiced gentle parenting, positive reinforcement, and conscious discipline.
But none of that works when your nervous system is in survival mode.
The old tools mistakenly focused on ‘behavior’. The new path focuses on coherence.
You don’t need to yell less or react better.
You need to change the electromagnetic frequency your heart is broadcasting in real time.


Spot and transform hidden emotional drivers like control, perfectionism, or fear into coherence-based values.



Jackie Black reveals a radical new approach to parenting: your child isn’t misbehaving — they’re mirroring your nervous system.
You stay calm on the outside, but inside you’re tight, triggered, and trying not to explode. Your child senses it — even before you do.
That’s not intuition. It’s biology.
Until you learn to shift that state in real-time, no parenting strategy you try will stick.
Defusing The Parental Time Bomb shows you how to do it in 30 seconds or less.
You've read the books. You've tried the strategies. You've practiced gentle parenting, positive reinforcement, and conscious discipline.
But none of that works when your nervous system is in survival mode.
The old tools mistakenly focused on ‘behavior’. The new path focuses on coherence.
You don’t need to yell less or react better.
You need to change the electromagnetic frequency your heart is broadcasting in real time.
That’s what actually calms your child’s nervous system.


Using The Coherence Reset Method™, you stop parenting from depletion and start leading from alignment.


“As a parent of tweens & working full-time, reading "Defusing The Parental Time Bomb" was an ‘ah ha’ moment in realising that I was a stress transmitter! As I entered into a big transition period in our lives, this non judgemental & safe strategy has armed me. Thank you Jackie for the amazing toolset I need to promote calm and coherence!”
Raelene M. , Working Mum of two (ages 12 & 8), Healthcare Professional

"I've spent decades studying emotional regulation in young children, yet "Defusing The Parental Time Bomb" gave me the missing piece I never recognised - how closely our own heart coherence impacts the children in our care. Jackie's framework is so simple and practical that I'm already applying it with my grandchildren. This isn't just theory; it's a toolbox that every educator and parent needs."
Lisa M, Early Childhood Teacher/Director ECE MEd (Leadership) (25+ years), Parent and Grandparent

"After 30+ years researching why loving people become unkind to those they cherish most, I've seen that awareness alone isn't enough, we need tools to shift our state in the moment. "Defusing The Parental Time Bomb" delivers exactly that. Jackie has captured the science behind why our stress broadcasts to our children's nervous systems and provides multiple strategies to transform from reactive to responsive. This is the physiological foundation every parent needs to show up as the calm, grounded version of themselves their family deserves."
Rory Kilmartin, Relationship Researcher and Founder of the Multi Award Winning Archetypal Relationships Academy

"Defusing The Parental Time Bomb" provides the missing piece - the physiological tool that allows parents to shift their state instantly.

Feels burnt out, reactive, and overwhelmed
Is tired of feeling like they’re walking on eggshells
Knows something deeper is happening but doesn’t know where to start
Wants a real, science-backed shift they can feel now
Just wants more behavior-control hacks
Isn’t ready to look inward
Thinks yelling, bribing, or ignoring will eventually work
