Last week we talked about the science of oppositional behavior. This week, let’s look at strategies to help children rest into felt safety so their nervous system feels better and their oppositional protective strategies can decrease.

In this episode you’ll learn:

An invitation to consider some of our cultural beliefs around opposition in the parent/child relationship
How to use our grown-up brains to invite connection and cooperation
Strategies for creating felt safety in the child's inner world
Strategies for creating felt safety in the child's environment
Strategies for creating felt safety in the relationship
