Body and Brain Brilliance

When adults become aware of their nervous systems, they can recognize their emotional triggers or activators, sense the dysregulation in their bodies and brains, and respond accordingly. This allows adults to lean into curiosity when encountering a dysregulated child, empowering them to respond with compassion and connection over control, escalation, and compliance.

Body and Brain Brilliance, a neuro-educational manual for social and emotional development embracing all ages, as well as educator nervous systems, will address the science and the language of our nervous systems as educators and students learn together. Our nervous systems are continually storing, metabolizing, and conserving energy, which is why it is so critical to integrate neuroeducational practices into our schools now. When our nervous system reserves are low to empty, we observe and discipline behaviors that we label aggressive, defiant, or apathetic, to name a few. Still, we miss the dysregulation and pain beneath behaviors, which is what the Body and Brain Brilliance will address.
