Completed the 2-day seminar Regulation Matters by Kim Barthel, attended by T. Jove, T. Justin, T. Pabs, T. Yella, and T. Glady โจ

Itโs not just about calming down. When a child shuts down, avoids tasks, or has big reactions, itโs often their body trying to feel safe and not being โnaughtyโ or defiant.
