Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors: A Course for Caregivers will benefit all parents or other caregivers, but is especially offered for parents of kids and teens with vulnerable nervous systems and baffling behaviors. This includes children with a history of trauma and toxic stress (including foster care and adoption), as well as children who are neurodivergent, gifted, have sensory processing differences, or neuroimmune disorders. You might not know why your child has a vulnerable nervous system, and that’s OK. This course is for you, too.
This course is being facilitated by Amy Kapp, LMSW, Registered Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviors Course Facilitator.
The three core tenets of this course are:
Behavior is just a clue. It’s what we see on the outside that gives us some information about what might be happening on the inside.
We all need connection to survive. If your child is behaving in a way that makes you not want to be connected to them, we can pause and ask “What’s up with that?”
Regulated, connected kids who feel safe behave well. To change children’s behaviors, we look for ways to increase regulation, connection, and felt-safety.
