If your child is struggling with focus, emotions or learning, it’s easy to feel like more “practice,” stricter routines or extra rewards will fix it.
But as Dr. Tony Ebel explains, sometimes the real issue isn’t willpower or behaviour at all – it’s that the lower parts of the brain haven’t fully developed or integrated yet.
When this happens, children may feel like they’re being asked to run before they can walk. What really helps is going back to the foundations – supporting the nervous system through movement, rhythm and regulation.
This bottom-up approach can unlock lasting change in how children feel and function – giving them the stability they need to thrive.
