When kids become overwhelmed, frustrated, avoidant or shut down, it’s easy to focus on the behavior we can see. But beneath those big emotions, something important is happening in the brain.
In this recorded workshop, we explore the powerful connection between emotional regulation and Executive Function. You’ll learn why thinking skills like planning, impulse control, flexible thinking, and follow-through become harder to access during moments of stress and overwhelm—and why logic, reminders, and lectures often don’t work in the heat of the moment.
What You’ll Learn:
What’s happening in the brain when a child is dysregulated
Why and how to rethink defiant or avoidant behavior
The Executive Function → Regulation Loop
What actually helps (and what doesn’t) during escalated emotional moments
You’ll leave with compassionate, practical strategies to help your child feel safer, more regulated, and better able to access the thinking skills they need—at home, at school, and beyond.
