Episode Details
Back to Episodes{RERECORD} Connection or Protection
Description
This is a re-record of a foundation episode, episode 7
The brain has two modes- connection or protection.
Protective behaviors include opposition, defiance, aggression- basically, any behavior that doesn't invite connection.
If we want to help shift our children's oppositional behaviors, we must first help their brain shift out of protection and into protection!

Underneath every behavior is something happening in the body, specifically in the nervous system. When we support the body first, behavior often begins to shift. Even for kids who don't have a sensory processing disorder!
