How to better understand your child's behavior with Dr. Mona Delahooke

Has your child ever had a meltdown or tantrum or a behavior that you just don't understand? Does this trigger you? We are joined by Dr. Mona Delahooke, Ph.D. child psychologist to discuss reframing how you understand your child’s behavior – with curiosity and compassion. Learn why Dr. Delahooke believes self-compassion and co-regulation is the proper response to a child’s tantrum. We discuss how we can be mindful of the feelings, but not judgemental of them. Tune in to learn about interoception, prediction error, and challenge zones and how they play into dealing with children’s behavior. Dr. Delahooke dives into what the term Body Budget means and how to keep it balanced. She urges us to replace trauma-informed care by trauma-responsive care – pay attention to the nervous system of every child and caregiver to ensure that we have healthy, regulated homes.
