“Traditional methods of managing a child’s behaviour through punishment and reward not only have little effect, but actually make things worse: for both child and parent.” - @stuartshanker.bsky.social

Really enjoyed doing this…

“The pervasive misunderstanding of trauma-related behavior has a profound effect on our educational, mental health, & juvenile justice systems.” - Bruce D Perry

Holiday homes for neurodivergent families

Avoid strong smells - from hand soap and air fresheners. They can overwhelm or make people feel sick (cherry hand soap)

Reduce textures - esp for sofas and bedding. Throws can help if seats are textured, but embroidery on duvets/ pillows can be unbearable.

From troubled & troubling tots to teens - from violent, destructive behaviours to anxiety-based controlling & self-injurious behaviours, we’ll equip you with strategies & techniques proven to help where traditional approaches don’t seem to work.

The objective... “is not to change people & their behaviour in order to get our way; it is to establish relationships based on honesty & empathy, which will eventually fulfill everyone’s needs.” - Marshall B Rosenberg

#SystemicApproach #Connection #ParentalSupport

NVR is a powerful approach for parents who feel they’ve lost their voice, influence, or connection with their child. If you’re lying awake at night, anxious, feeling isolated, or even afraid - for your child or of them - NVR offers a way forward.
