Nearly every day, I encounter clinicians, teachers, and parents who are desperately seeking answers for how to help children overcome “challenging behaviours.”
And I understand the frustration…the sad truth is that the traditional strategies we have for helping children are failing.
Time-out rooms, behaviour chart consequences, and other methods that focus on correcting behaviours aren’t working for the simple reason that they don’t take into consideration the reasons underlying behavioural challenges: the child's individual differences and the state of the child's nervous system.
Each child has a unique background, different strengths and challenges, and are at different points in their development. They require customized plans, rooted in science, that are specific to their needs.
That’s why I’m excited to invite you to join me and learn a new and MUCH more effective approach to helping children and their caregivers…
…one that leverages the neuroscience of development and Polyvagal Theory insights that have been grossly underused in supporting children and families.
Through six practical, step-by-step modules filled with real-life case samples, you’ll learn:
- How to work with children of any background or developmental stage, including those who’ve experienced trauma or have been diagnosed with a disorder.
- How to easily use Polyvagal Theory insights to understand and change behaviours.
- How to use both top-down AND bottom-up methods to effectively engage children in the way that’s catered to their needs.
- What to do in moments where behaviours get big and out of hand.
- And so much more!
Whether you work directly with children, or you’re helping a client caregiver who’s feeling inadequate, this course is for you!
Join me today and I’ll help you finally feel confident helping children discover the thriving life they and their caregivers have been seeking!

We’re that confident you'll find this learning experience to be all that's promised and more than you expected.
No! What you’ll learn in this course can help any child. In fact, this course can completely reshape your understanding of child behavior diagnoses.
2. How is this child development training different from what I’ve learned before?
Great question! Neuroscience research has been available for therapists to leverage for a while – but it’s been slow to be applied in classrooms and other environments with children. This course will teach you, step-by-step, how to change the paradigm and revolutionize the way you work with children!
3. I want more than theory; can you show me how this approach works in real life?
Each module contains real-world stories (with names changed to maintain privacy) to showcase exactly how these concepts and methods work better than traditional models. It’s through the stories that this training comes alive.
4. What if I determine that this training isn’t for me?
No problem! Every course is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you can register risk-free.
