Shutdown, Stonewalled, & Alone: Strategies for Kids Who Are Shut Down

Sponsoring Organization: Michigan Dept. of Health and Human Service

Date: May 3rd, 2025

Time: 10:45-11:15am eastern

Location: In-Person (Traverse City, MI)

Description: Children who are shut-down may seem easier to parent than children who are explosive, but the truth is, they are hardest to reach. This workshop decodes these frustrating and elusive behaviors using the latest research on the science of safety.
Some shutdown kids are like watchdogs and act like volcanos, with a lot of simmering energy they keep on the inside. Some shutdown kids are collapsed and have very low energy, like possums! This webinar will help you distinguish between the two and offer strategies for both.
You will learn practical strategies you can immediately implement to help you invite kids out of being shut down and to address some of the behavioral problems that are common in shut down kids.
