FREE presentation A New Take on Emotional Regulation October 9th around the corner!
Hi Reader,
I just did a goal check on a kid whose mom is noticing that her son in OT is maturing and instead of resorting to anger or physically harming his brother he is more likely to get her help.
Another dad last week said things that would normally cause huge destructive meltdowns are no longer causing the same reaction. He said he can see his son start to get upset and then regain control much faster than before.
If you are scratching your head with kids that lose control and take forever to recover from big emotions join us for this FREE presentation:
A New Take on Emotional Regulation October 9th @9am PST
⭐️Learn about 3 reflexes that send kids into fight/flight/freeze responses
⭐️Learn over 6 emotional regulation strategies
⭐️A framework to organize it all

(you won’t get duplicate emails if you RSVP by the way)
This presentation will be the same lecture that is in the
OT Association of Oregon Virtual Continuing Education Summit October 9th (same day) at 11am.
You could pay 200$ for this conference (and also get recordings of all of these lectures to watch for later)
(There are different prices for members and students etc. )
But because I value you for being a subscriber I wanted to give this lecture to you for free!
I think you will still have a blast learning about more creative ways to work on reflexes and also think about the kids you see in a new way.
This should be an intimate group so there will be time to share and brainstorm new ways to do activities.
Also it will NOT be recorded but if you can't make it check out the full virtual OTAO conference where it will be recorded.
If you already RSVP’d Great I’ll send the zoom link and workbook soon!
P.S. People online have been enjoying this last activity idea that is inspired by one reflex that sends children in to a protective response the: Moro Reflex.
If you just skimmed all of this, in a nutshell, RSVP for our free class:

Hi all! Hope you enjoy the printables and the accompanying videos. With these breath activities you teach physical skills for emotional regulation. The deep breaths (longer exhalations than inhalations) make it impossible to stay in the sympathetic fight/ flight state. It has been a crafty week and I am still working on some of the gross motor videos so sorry PTs getting this email! PS I really do appreciate everyone who filled out the questionnaire. For those of you interested in reflex...
