Shut-Down and in La-La Land: Helping Kids who take the Possum Pathway

Sponsoring Organization: Foster Parent Society of Ontario

Date: March 19, 2024

Time: 7:30pm – 9pm eastern

Location: Virtual workshop

Description: Do you have a child who doesn’t seem to be fully present? Perhaps it seems they’re often daydreaming, in la-la land, or totally shut down. This can be especially frustrating if they have trouble focusing at school or completing a task. 

In this workshop you’ll learn:

• the neurobiology of shutdown
• how la-la land is protective
• Practical strategies to offer safety and connection

Children who are shut-down may seem easier to parent than children who are explosive, but the truth is, they can be hardest to reach. This workshop decodes these frustrating and elusive behaviors using the latest research on the science of safety. You will learn practical strategies you can immediately implement.
