CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 145
Have you ever considered the neuroscience behind how we self-regulate our emotions? How do these two work together? Some children may respond in fight or flight mode in some situations. But how does your child’s body and emotions respond and why in these specific moments? What pathways are connecting in your child’s brain to cause certain reactions? Knowing your child and techniques to keep them calm can help moments like this - it’s more than just a behavior, but thinking about the child as a whole.
The topics we cover in this episode are:
An introduction to Dr. Varleisha and the work she does
The beauty of having a multidisciplinary team and how to support the kids in your lives
How does our brains work and what hormones are released
Techniques for self regulation
The power of sound and movement and self regulation
Using temperature for self regulation
Finding evidence based practice rather than what social media tells us
How Dr. Varleisha rests and relaxes
