Ep. 37 - Compliance Isn’t Regulation: What Children Are Really Communicating
Tue Jan 20 2026
In this episode of Your Mental Highness, Dr. Jenae “Dr. Jai” Lomaski sits down with Board Certified Behavior Analyst Francis Fishman for an honest, grounding conversation about children, behavior, and what’s really happening beneath the surface.
Together, they explore why compliance is not the same as regulation, how children absorb energy and emotion even when they can’t express it, and why labels can help with services—but should never define a child’s potential.
This episode is a powerful reminder that behavior is communication, calm doesn’t always mean safe, and real regulation starts with the adults in the room.
Crowns on—this one goes deep.
