PARENTING RESOURCES

The following links offer a wealth of resources on self-regulation, interpersonal neurobiology and attachment-focused approaches for raising healthy, well-adjusted kids. Children need help with finding ways to regulate their sensory and emotional realms. When we're stressed we can't learn. When we help children find calm we help free their brains and bodies up for higher-level learning, imaginative play and good social interaction. We create the conditions for them to live in flow and to experience more of the beauty of life and less of the strife.
