23.01.2022 Learning how to cope with adversity is an important part of healthy child development. When we are threatened, our bodies prepare us to respond by increasing ou...r heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones, such as cortisol. When a young child’s stress response systems are activated within an environment of supportive relationships with adults, these physiological effects are buffered and brought back down to baseline. The result is the development of healthy stress response systems. However, if the stress response is extreme and long-lasting, and buffering relationships are unavailable to the child, the result can be damaged, weakened systems and brain architecture, with lifelong repercussions.

11.01.2022 WHAT IS SENSORY STIMULATION? Generally speaking, sensory stimulation is the act of using some method or tool to provide sensory input for someone. This can take... the form of any sensory input, including light, sound, smell, touch, vestibular and taste. If you'd like more info on how K9 Assistance Australia can work with your medical practitioner, allied health practitioners, or disability support agency please reach out to book an initial consultation.

09.01.2022 Parents often seek soothing through information, but for kids, support and soothing often comes when an adult can join them in a space without expectations that... they report, perform, or explain. Parenting can be overwhelming and it isn't something you have to do alone. If the idea of reducing the number of questions you ask your child feels really anxiety-provoking, consider giving yourself the gift of a check-in with a therapist or parenting coach. Research suggests that a short series of meetings between a parent and a therapist can help parents show their care in ways that reduce anxiety for parents, and, by extension, anxious behaviors in children. If you're looking for structured resources to join with your kiddos and check in around the BIG things that are happening in the world, my COVID Kid's Activity Book might be a resource that can help: https://lindsaybraman.com/covid-kids-coping-book/ #covidparenting #motherhoodrising #parenthood #boymom #firstdayofschool #backtoschool

06.01.2022 Foreword for "Chickens to Love' Animal Assisted Learning Program. summerfarrelly.com There is an incredibly special bond that occurs between Summer and her chi...ckens. They understand each other and have an amazing connection. We need to develop a similar understanding and a sense of connection with autistic children. As Summer explored the abilities, personalities, and qualities of her chickens, she developed a unique program to improve the communication of thoughts and feelings and social engagement between those who have autism and those who are neurotypical. The benefits will include a greater understanding of social dynamics, improved self-acceptance and reduced anxiety. The activities are engaging, enjoyable and insightful. I learned and appreciated so much when Summer gave a demonstration of her program and have no hesitation in endorsing Chickens to Love. Tony Attwood
