THE DEVELOPING BRAIN
with Nathan Wallis
Nathan's popular The Developing Brain workshop, explores how advances in medical and neuroscience have deepened our understanding of brain development and cognitive functioning, more than any other period before. Much of the public discussion has related to new knowledge of infant’s brains, however, just as many amazing are discoveries have been made relating to brain development and functioning from childhood right through to late adolescence.
Duration: 6 hours (1 day) workshop to professionals.

Anxiety Explained, Kids Empowered
Based on the best selling book this hugely popular workshop, explores why anxiety is a very normal human response but for as many as 1 in 5 young people, the symptoms become so intrusive, they significantly interfere with day to day living. The effects can steal into families, classrooms and friendships. They can undermine the way children see themselves and shrink their world – but it doesn’t have to be this way. Anxiety is very manageable when it is recognised and properly managed. With the right support children can be empowered with the skills and knowledge to manage anxiety and move forward with courage and resilience.
Duration: 1.5 to 7 hours keynote, half-day or full-day workshop to professionals or parents.
Location: By arrangement at your workplace or nominated venue anywhere in Australia or Asia.
NEURODEVELOPMENTAL THEORY to PRACTICE

Brain-based Approaches to Whole-child Development from Infancy to Adolescence and Beyond
Neuroscience is transforming our understanding of being human, from infancy through adolescence and into parenthood, leading to improved practice across all areas of child development and family support. As the need for neuro-scientific knowledge amongst practitioners increases, its convergence with key approaches to attachment, trauma, and learning have seen watershed changes in how we understand and support optimal development, behaviour and social emotional wellbeing. This dynamic new workshop from the best selling author of Hey Warrior, shows how modern practitioners can synthesise the latest (often complex) neurodevelopment research into practical brain based approaches to treatment, education and parenting/ carer support.
Compelling research is supporting the need for practitioners and organisations to shift from older more inflexible behavioural and cognitive approaches to more integrated relational approaches that neuro-nurture young brains to dramatically influence the growth and healing of the developing brain to provide the foundations for a happy, successful life. Practitioners and organisations embracing neuro-nurturing practice see significant shifts in engagement as they begin to understand why correction without connection rarely works and how identifying individual neuro-developmental needs informs how and when to intervene no matter what the age.
Duration: 1.5 to 7 hours keynote, half-day or full-day workshop to professionals or parents.
