Despite our best efforts, kids can learn about scary events happening near and far from home. This deck and linked infographic provide helpful steps for starting conversations.

I am looking forward to this discussion!

"It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child, but what does it take to nurture a village or a neighbourhood to become a community where every child can grow up well and belong?
With questions like this one in mind, we invite you to join us at a free webinar event focused on Child Welfare through a Community-Centred Lens.

Join us on May 14 at 4.00 p.m. (London) for a discussion featuring:
Dr. Bruce Perry, co-author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, "What Happened to You?'. Dr Perry will explore the profound impact of relationships on healing from trauma, especially in children. His evidence-based research demonstrates the crucial role of a healthier, more connected society in preventing trauma and encouraging healing.

Cormac Russell will advocate for a shift in perspective from viewing children merely as 'at risk' to recognizing them as 'at-promise'. He will emphasize the importance of community-led approaches in nurturing and protecting children.

This session will be moderated by Melissa T. Merrick, PhD, President and CEO of Prevent Child Abuse America. Melissa is an influential national leader in this movement and is committed to preventing child abuse and neglect through evidence-based solutions and collaborative community-based efforts."

Colleagues and friends.

This is a free opportunity to learn and connect with others supporting families with kids with big, baffling behaviors. We need each other to do this work well!

I've been waiting and waiting to tell you about this!

My free 5-day audio training for professionals is BACK!

Making Sense of Baffling Behaviors: A FREE Audio Training for Professionals who work with the Families of Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors

I love love LOVE this training and the week we get to hang out together online. I didn't offer it in 2024 and I've been eagerly anticipating this announcement!!!

This 5-day audio-only training is designed to be easy to access without adding to your overwhelm. It's delivered right to the podcast app you already use (to listen to The Baffling Behavior Show!) so all you have to do is press play.

If you want to join us for discussion over in our Facebook group, that'll be fun, too! Plus! Two live Q&As! You choose how much you want to participate.

The audio episodes start on May 5th and will be accessible until the end of the day May 12th.

You'll end the week being able to make sense of your client's most baffling behaviors (the kids and their parents!) as well as your own!

Or....is it just me that sometimes acts baffling when I'm overwhelmed?!

Here are your next steps-

🧠1- Sign up! There's a link in my bio but if you make a comment with a brain emoji, I'll reply back with a live link

🧠2- SHARE! Please! The parents of the kids we work with need us now more than ever. They need us to do the heavy lifting of sharing with our colleagues and other professionals about the nervous system, sensitized stress response systems, and big, baffling behaviors. Because y'all - these parents are TIRED. We can't keep ask them to carry this burden alone.

I cannot WAIT to hang out with you starting May 5th. Sign up now so you don't forget and I'll see you then!

*Are you looking for a way to reset your nervous system?

*Do you find yourself in a state of bracing or tension much of the time?

*Or maybe you are a caregiver for a child with a vulnerable nervous system and are in need to co-regulation, soothing and safety?

Whatever your circumstances, life feels especially hard for many of us right now. Finding moments of safety, rest and delight can feel beyond our capacity.

And, as you likely know, there is a cost to being in protection mode all or much of the time...

[Deep breath]

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) might be a useful experience and tool for you.

(It has certainly become an important tool for my own nervous system care over the last 6+ years.)

The SSP is a music-based intervention designed by Dr. Stephen Porges, to re-tune the nervous system from a chronic state of "protection" (fight/flight/freeze, collapse) to a more flexible and responsive system with greater access to a state of "connection." Dr. Porges found that middle tones of sound are associated with cues of safety (think of the ways we naturally talk to babies in that sing-songy way). These become lifelong cues of safety but when we experience chronic stress or trauma our nervous system widens the net, so to speak, searching for sounds of approaching danger. This makes it more difficult for us to take in those soothing tones and return to safety.

Are you familiar with glimmers?

We often hear the term “triggers” but “glimmers” (a term created by Deb Dana) refers to those micro-moment experiences that bring safety (maybe even joy or delight) to our nervous system.

A friend recently asked a group I am in to share some of our recent, noticeable glimmers, and I found the experience of conjuring them up a glimmer all by itself!

Here is my quick in-the-moment list:

*Soaking up the 🌞 and these towering pines 🌲 on Mondays. (Picture below)

*Hearing the “roar” of chirping birds through my window in the morning.

*Noticing my 🐰(bunny) has planted herself right at my feet or as close as possible to a 🐱.

*The signs of green and yellow peeking out of trees and bushes this time of year.

*My favorite green tea when I get the lemon:sweetness just right!

*The bright sunshine reflecting off the new coral walls in our bathroom.

In times of difficulty, it can be hard to come up with many (or even one) glimmers. There can be so much grief in having lost our most favorite sources of glimmers. When our lives change due to the intense needs of a loved one, a death, job change or a new stage of family or parenting, we often have to re-orient and search for even smaller moments of safety or new spaces where we can be safe, seen and soothed.

What are some of your glimmers from today or this week? Hunting for glimmers can be a fun pursuit at any age. 😄

Hello!!

I have some new things in the works including this book club.

This book club is intended for parents, guardians and others who love and care for kids with neuro-complexity, vulnerable nervous systems, big behaviors or other unique needs that require a departure from conventional parenting.

You have likely tried all the things and have found your way, albeit wobbly at times, to a style that works, until one of you or your circumstances change (again)... scan the QR code to read more and fill out the interest form if it sounds like a good fit.

My intention is to create as low demand of a book club as possible, given that life and parenting are already A LOT!
