SUMMARY:Changing Tough Behavior: A Focus on the Nervous System webinar
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to get to the REAL root of behavior challenges? \nRegulated\, connected kids who feel safe (and know what to do) behave in ways that work for us and them.

Our focus will be on strategies that boost the nervous system’s ability to promote a connected\, calm and comfortable relationship for families\, caregivers and professionals who work with these kids. \nPresented by Melissa Lebling\, registered Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviors course facilitator\, and Family Support  and Outreach Specialist\, Formed Families Forward
