   Episode 21: Beyond Behaviors Book Club, Chapter 5

   In this episode, we go through Chapter 5 of Dr. Mona Delahooke's "Beyond Behaviors." We cover early dysregulation issues that appear to resolve (but don't), difficulties with sleep, and understanding the specifics of our children's sensory systems. With this knowledge, we can continue to help their brains feel safe, putting them in a place to connect and learn.

   Episode 20: Beyond Behaviors Book Club - Chapter 4

   In this episode, we go through Chapter 4of “Beyond Behaviors”, understanding that a child’s safety must be the adult’s priority if we are to effectively address challenging behaviors. In addition to thinking about how our child responds when under stress, we must also look at how our own bodies and brains respond when triggered, leading us to build our own set of coping skills. Once we can do this, we can begin the process of co-emotional regulation.
