Speaking isn’t about getting every word right β€” it’s about connection.

When a child freezes, it’s not a behaviour problem, it’s a body response.
Inside the Awesome Powers Academy, we teach families that a freeze moment is the nervous system saying, β€œI don’t feel safe enough yet.”

When we understand this, the whole approach changes.
No pressure. No pushing.
Just helping the body come back into safety so speech and participation can happen naturally.

It doesn’t suddenly appear one day.
It grows through movement, rhythm, breath, connection, and emotional understanding.

In the Awesome Powers Academy, we help children and teens feel safe in their bodies so their Brave Muscle can switch on…
And then we help them understand their emotions, fear, overwhelm, Bear Brain, Storm Brain, without shame or pressure.

Because body safety + emotional understanding = Brave Talking.
And we build both side by side, together. πŸ’›

Small groups, big breakthroughs, child-led progress.
