18.01.2022 'Understanding basic #brain #development is a big factor in why I chose positive parenting. This is a very simplistic model of a very complex organ, but think o...f the brain in terms of two parts an upper brain and a lower brain. The lower brain is fully developed at birth and regulates functions like breathing, digestion, reflexes, and heart rate. The upper brain is developing in infancy and continues to develop throughout childhood, not reaching maturation until the mid 20's! The upstairs brain is responsible for emotions control, empathy, and complex thinking. Information is key to understanding behaviors such as tantrums and aggression, because when you realize that a toddler simply does not have the cognitive capability to pause and reflect (a function of the underdeveloped upstairs brain), suddenly you understand that this isn't poor #behavior but purely an issue of brain development. This knowledge helps us provide #empathy and #understanding in situations which would otherwise cause us a lot of frustration.' Rebecca Eanes #neurochild #brainscience #development

15.01.2022 Young children left to watch screens in the morning are three times more likely to suffer speech or learning difficulties and often exhibit disturbed behaviour,... according to French researchers. Indeed, a new study released by the French Public Health authority says children are likely to become agitated from watching TVs, iPads or mobiles in the morning, and tend to remain disturbed for the rest of the day. What do Australian Government guidelines says about screen time: https://www1.health.gov.au//Conte/gug-indig-hb~inactivitiy #SLPeeps #WeSpeechies #speech #communication #fluency

15.01.2022 Many parents bring their concerns about their child not talking and all too often are told Lets just wait and see by pediatricians- and often other parents a...nd family members as well. But, this approach is outdated and has a negative impact on children with language delays. As parents, we want to set our kids up for success- and that means NOT waiting until your child has a SIGNIFICANT delay before you seek intervention- especially when you had concerns previously. So, go ahead and get an evaluation when you are first concerned- YOU ARE NOT CRAZY for doing this- even if your child turns out to not need therapy. The earlier intervention is started, the better likelihood your child will catch up to age level expectations and at a quicker rate! See more

05.01.2022 When you involve children in conversations about small problems throughout the day, you can build their problem-solving skills. For example, Uh-oh, we forgot your socks. Should we go back and get them? Look at the child expectantly to give her a chance to reply.

05.01.2022 ICYMI: 5 reasons I always get children picture books for Christmas (5 minute read). Speech pathologists understand the clear link that exists between language..., speech and reading. Strong oral language skills (including speaking and listening skills) underpin the ability to read. Sadly the number of young people who say they own a book is decreasing. Children who have never been given a book as a present were more likely to be reading below the expected level for their age. #books #reading #literacy #SLPeeps #WeSpeechies @ConversationEDU See more

03.01.2022 Interesting read!!

03.01.2022 Its futile to try to gain control of a #child by commanding, yelling, punishing or engaging in cognitive manipulations to respond to difficult behaviour. When ...a child surrenders, from a #brain state point of view, it can fuel fear or intimidation and put the child in a lower brain state. This is why children can become reflexive and their emotions and behaviour can escalate in challenging situations. The lower in the brain that a child is operatingthat is, the closer to their brainstem the less time-perceptive, less cognitive, more reflexive and more emotional they will therefore be. And the brain state of a child has significant impacts on their ability to listen, learn, comprehend and cope with life circumstances. There are different reasons why a dysregulated brain state can occur, and sometimes children who are labeled with #ADHD or #ADD are operating more in the lower part of their brains due to #traumatic sets of events. Whether that is the situation or not, it can always be helpful to remember that their little brains developed originally from the bottom to the top, meaning brainstem first and then the rest of the brain sequentially, up to their neocortex. Therefore in order to deal with a child who is dysregulated, we should always be working from the bottom to the top of the brain in the style in which we engage and connect with an upset child. A memorable three-step method to help a child to come to a place of calm and clarity can be seen in Dr Bruce Perrys use of the three Rs for this process. It begins with techniques for regulation, then it moves to relationship, and then it progresses to reason. This brain-based approach can vary a little with each individual child in timing or depth, and can usually be determined with some trial and error once you recognise how your little one is experiencing the world. Not sure where to start? Choose some of these easy tips to remind yourself about most effective responses. Reflect on what is appropriate for each child, keeping in mind their personal circumstance and character. #REGULATE Encourage somatosensory experiences: move the muscle groups with hugs, weighted blankets, or rhythmic and repetitive activities such as playing catch, rocking or drumming. Engage in patterned, repetitive rhythmic activity: walking, running, dancing, singing, or repetitive meditative breathing. Offer top-down reassurance: say things such as Im not mad, Youre not in trouble," This doesnt seem like a big deal," or Youre safe. Use relational tools: with reflective listening, clarifying questions, or authentic empathy where you actively and truly try to understand whats being experienced by the child. Let it happen: time can be a friend, and sometimes thats really ok, and the best thing for your little loved one might be to regulate them self. Get down low: standing over the child can make them feel overwhelmed, while kneeling down at their level creates safety. #LetThemPlay: natures greatest self-regulator is simple, uncomplicated, unstructured play. #RELATE Play together: the ultimate connector that creates sacred space. Love that child: say I love you, or focus on love and nurturing. Follow your heart. Use language to bond: remind them of all the fun things that are planned, or the little things about them that youre proud of. Realign yourselves: genuinely connect with their interests so that they can feel youre working towards the same goals. Hug: the age-old way of producing oxytocin, hugging helps to calm the nervous system and create a relaxed state. Share activities: think on what your child loves to do and do it. Be silly: children love to laugh. Let them help you connect with yourself, too. Really see each other: focus on each other, not the problem. Problems make us forget ourselves, but we need ourselves to fix any problem. #REASON Use collaborative problem solving: find solutions to problems that work for everyone - adults and kids alike. Explain the why: it helps change behaviour when reasons are known. Share your feelings: some children havent yet developed full theory of mind, where they understand others realities, so let them understand. Reflect together: package what happened neatly and chronologically, emphasising cause and effect; and also reflect emotionally. Ask questions: learn something new from each other. Articulate: words sometimes need multiple exposures to gain meaning or nuance. Keep trying. Encourage confidence: action requires empowerment. Give compliments, highlight what was done well, and fan the flames of courage. Simulate to stimulate: walk through solutions with doll play, telling or creating stories, putting on puppet shows, or drawing reflective pictures or artworks to encode learning deeper and make it easy to remember. Responding to difficult behaviour in a way that supports the whole child and their whole brain will make interactions easier and kinder. Be mindful that challenging behaviours can trigger our own fight-flight-freeze responses, and so whole brain responses can actually be easier and kinder for everyone involved. #neurochild #brainscience #familygoals #bekind
