×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.…
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.…

In this episode, Nate finishes up Chapter 2 by going through the three different polyvagal Pathways: Green (ventral vagal), Red (sympathetic). and Blue (dorsal vagal). These pathways are important to understand so we can identify which type of dysregulation our child may be going through, allowing us to explore better proactive and reactive responses. You can find worksheets with additional information in the book!…

In this episode, we go through the first part of Chapter 2, which talks about developmental processes. This is extremely relevant to FASD, and gives us insights into 1) why kids may not have fully developed early processes and 2) why traditional or punishment-based responses do not work.

How do you deal with it when the person you support lies? Well, first you should determine whether or not that's what they're actually doing. And (spoiler alert!) often what looks like lying may be something else entirely. In this episode, Nate and Jill discuss different possible explanations for a kid saying something that's not true, and best practices for addressing it.
