The simulated parent-therapist format, and creative restructuring of the child and parent perspectives into narratives, garners compassionate understanding from the reader. As a parent, I find the insights and strategies in this book timely and appropriate. — Dr Stephen Porges, Professor of Psychiatry and Founding Director, Traumatic Stress Research Consortium
Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors
Brain-Body-Sensory Strategies that Really Work
“ALL BEHAVIOR MAKES SENSE”
‘“It most certainly does not!”, is probably your first reaction.
Mental Health Expert & Parent Coach Robyn Gobbel is here to reveal how all behavior, no matter how baffling, can be explained and remedied. You just need to look past the behavior and understand what’s going on inside.
Robyn decodes the latest brain science into easy-to-understand principles and metaphors which will help you to become an expert in your child’s behaviour. She reveals simple ways to help you regulate and connect with your child, with brain-, body- and sensory-based strategies to overcome day-to-day challenges.
Robyn also provides you with the knowledge to understand and regulate your own brain so that you don’t flip your lid when your child flips theirs.
Let this be your lifeline for parenting or caring for any child with baffling behaviors and hidden challenges, including kids who have experienced adversity, or with additional needs.
