- Behavior is a window into the brain!My hope with this brain-based parenting toolkit series is to help providers view their practice members through a brain-based lens instead of a deficit lens.There are NO bad kids! There's a reason for all behavior. So remember, behavior is a window into the brain. We will talk about this more!Copyright © 2020 FOCUS Educational Services, LLC.

- Discover your own deflectionsWhether you are a parent, or a provider working with people with behavioral, learning, or socialization challenges, we can find ourselves becoming triggered by other people's deflections. So it's important to know what things trigger a reaction within ourselves. This will be different for each individual. Use this podcast to guide self-discovery and then work on specific strategies to reduce these triggers for yourself.Copyright © 2021 FOCUS Educational Services, LLC.

- Don't be afraid to do this!Traditions are fun to continue on in our own families, but we need to remember that some of these traditions or rituals might not be appropriate for where our kids are RIGHT NOW.Keep in the back of your mind that increasing processing demand with lots of traditions, tasks, and activities may, in fact, increase a lot of stress or create more deflective behaviors, especially this year!It's OK to create your own traditions that are more appropriate for your family! You might even find you like it better that way!Copyright © 2020 FOCUS Educational Services, LLC.

About Dr. Amy Focus
From the publisher's feed
We train chiropractors, medical professionals, educators and parents to lead with brain development to build a comprehensive "whole to part" approach to working with behavioral, learning,…
developmental and socialization challenges. We need to know more to bridge the gap and build strong teams and clinical, educational and parenting strategies to help kids have a better expression of life and not just cope! Through our seminars and trainings we boil down the complexity of brain development and Neuro-Deflective Disorders™ in order to have practical and implementable solutions and care plans without losing the bigger picture of how it all works together.
