SHOW DESCRIPTION: We all need to learn how to clean up our mental mess, even children! In fact, the younger we learn to self-regulate out thoughts, feelings and emotions, the better off we will be later on in life. In this podcast I talk about how to teach your child to manage their thoughts and emotions using the Neurocycle method I have researched and developed over the past 3 and half decades, the importance of teaching your child deep breathing, why brain-building exercises are so important for your child, how to calm your child down when they are feeling anxious or scared, the importance of play and rest, and more!
