Preventing Tantrums

Did you know that the brain is highly predictable in how it becomes more agitated and how it calms down? We will discuss from a neurodevelopmental perspective how to help children get calmer, by recognizing and responding to their level of physiological arousal (distress).

Join Robbyn in an interview with Amy Bryant, ParentingBeyondPunishment as they discuss how to help a child whose mood meter is ramping up!

Resiliency is the brain’s ability to respond to stress in a healthy way. It helps us manage both emotional and physiological arousal in ways that promote healthy relationships and a healthy body. Resiliency protects us and our children from the negative outcomes associated with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Resiliency is something we develop in ourselves in order to also cultivate it in our children.
