Supporting children who have experienced trauma, struggle with regulation, or have otherwise vulnerable nervous systems is overwhelming and confusing. Behaviors that result from vulnerable nervous systems are often big and baffling. 

Children with vulnerable nervous systems need support with co-regulation, connection, and felt-safety. This webinar series will help participants to:

·      Build an understanding of behavior through a neurobiological approach
·      Develop tools for examining behavior and identifying how best to respond
·      Identify strategies to address behavior based in dysregulation
·      Decrease the likelihood of baffling behaviors

​Join us to learn an easy-to-understand model of addressing baffling behaviors based on Robyn Gobbel’s owl, watchdog, and possum brain, and fill your behavior toolbox with tools that really work so you can stop playing behavior whack-a-mole.
These webinars have been developed for parents, families, caregivers, educators,
​early childhood educators and providers across disciplines.
