Webinar overview....

Children who carry chronic behavioural challenges are often responded to with reactive and punitive practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems. Discipline isn’t only responsive (occurring after a child’s negative behaviour) and it’s definitely not punishment. Discipline is developing proactive practices to help children become more connected to themselves, each other, and to adults. The developing brains of our children need to "feel" safe in order to function and perform. When we are dysregulated, our brains cannot respond to words, lectures, consequences, or rewards.

Some of the key ideas Lori will discuss include:

  • Exploring how trauma and adversity affect the developing brains and bodies of our children and young people through the lens of social and developmental neurosciences.
  • A range of specific neuroscience informed ideas, practices, and strategies that promote and strengthen regulation through patterned repetitive experiences that can be built into our procedures, routines, and rituals.
  • Exploring discipline as a Tier One preventative, nervous system aligned and relational practice that is at the heart of education.
