Dr Stanley Greenspan was a specialist in children’s social / emotional health. He proved it’s our social and emotional systems that drive childhood development. Not just our emotional health but also our neurological and physical health. Dr Greenspan went on to create a model to identify what social / emotional health is.

His son Jake became involved as he became older and started his career as a teacher working with children who had developmental challenges. Jake saw that the systems in place to help, weren’t helping at all. Instead, they were built to work around the child’s challenges.

In this episode Jake explains that with a better understanding of neuroplasticity we now understand that we don’t need to “work around” the challenges children have – they can genuinely take on those challenges and overcome them.
