Neuro-informed presentations

Neuro-science has taught us so much more about our children’s brain development and how this important information can guide parents on how to best support their children.  This comprehensive parenting program is based on my book Parenting in the 21st Century: The Neuro-Informed Parent, to be released in 2025.

Would you like to:

• Understand your child’s brain and why it is important to learn about it for effective parenting?
• Learn how to help your child learn regulation skills?
• Learn why your child misbehaves and what to do about it?
• Understand the importance and effects of the nervous system interactions?
• Learn effective strategies to help with parenting?

This presentation talks about the anxiety signs in children, common misdiagnoses of anxiety, and some simple strategies that parents can use with their anxious child.

This presentation looks at some of the most common issues that arise with young children and suggests effective ways of dealing with these.

Encouragement has positive effects on the brain. Learn what encouragement is, the differences between praise and encouragement and how to encourage your child.

This presentation aims to provide parents, caregivers, educators, service providers of pre-teens and teens a helpful, new lens through which to view teens. By understanding teenage behaviours, adults can better connect with teens. This presentation utilizes Attachment Theory, the latest information about brain development, Family Systems and Adlerian Psychology.

“Self regulation is a myth” according to Dr. Bonnie Badenoch. We learn to self-regulate by co-regulating with our caregiver/parent. The Neuro-Informed model teaches us as caregivers how to provide these learning opportunities to the children in our care.

In this workshop, caregivers will learn what it means to be regulated and what dys-regulation looks like.

The Neuro--Informed model uses the neuro-science so that caregivers are able to work with a children in a way that is in tune to what is happening internally for them.

This workshop will look at how to approach parenting with the understanding of the child’s neurological development. Learn about how the brain develops and what can be expected from children based on which part of the brain is actually “online”. We will also look at ways to encourage brain development. The workshop is based on the work of Dr. Dan Siegel and Lisa Dion.
