The Science of Behaviour: How Your Child’s Brain & Nervous System Shape Their Reactions
2nd April | 12 PM AEDT
Understanding your child’s brain and nervous system is key to making sense of their behaviour. This session will explore how the brain processes stress, emotions, and perceived threats, shaping your child’s reactions. You’ll learn about the four core threats of the amygdala, why kids enter fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown, and how to recognise and respond to these states. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your child’s behaviour and practical strategies to adjust your parenting approach based on their nervous system’s needs—helping them feel safe, regulated, and connected.
