Description

In this interview, Mona Delahooke, PhD discusses her new book, Brain-Body Parenting, and these topics in particular:

  • How the behaviors we see in our children are just a glimpse of what’s going on beneath the surface
  • Why we can’t just reinforce “good” behavior and discourage “bad” behavior
  • What happens we understand our children’s “pathways” better
  • Why we need to understand sensory integration
  • How to reframe and better understand individual differences in temperament and neurodiversity
  • How to “S.O.” (“stop” and “observe”) in her model
  • Why self-care is absolutely critical in responsive parenting, even if it doesn’t look how we think it might

Evidence-Based and Heart-Centered Support

Join us for an evidence-based and heart-centered “come as you are” parent, caregiver, and professional mentoring experience.

Whether you’re new to connection-based parenting or an experienced caregiver or parent coach seeking greater insights, all are welcome (pending space and acceptance of your application).
