Why do some behavior strategies seem to work for one child but completely fail with another?

What does "regulation" actually mean, and why does it matter so much for learning and behavior?

How can you tell if a challenging behavior is really a sign that your child is dysregulated?

In this episode, occupational therapist Alison Foura joins me from the Sensory Solutions for Parents podcast to explore the connection between regulation and behavior. We discuss what it is and how it impacts learning, attention, emotions, and behavior.

Whether you're navigating meltdowns, resistance, big emotions, or daily struggles with focus and transitions, this conversation will help you look beneath the behavior and better support your neurodivergent learner.

Save this quote from the conversation: Dr. Ross Greene says, “Kids do well when they can,” and those are words to live by when we’re raising up our kids!
