Connections over Compliance: Rewiring our Perception to Discipline

Course description

Join Dr.Lori Desautels for an empowering day of learning!

The developing brains of children need to “feel” safe. Children with chronic behavioral challenges often face reactive and punitive practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems. This workshop addresses the need for co-regulatory and relational touch point practices, shifting student-focused behavior management protocols to adult-regulated brain and body states, which are brain-aligned, preventive, and relational discipline protocols. This new lens for discipline benefits all students by reaching for sustainable behavioral changes through brain state awareness rather than compliance and obedience.
