Eye contact is key- calms down the brain and releases seretonin instead of cortisol ( the fight or flight hormone most of our kids get flooded with everytime they get triggered)- and learning happens when defenses are down and kids are calm and happy. This is definately a difficult stage to get to with these ones. I am definately not educating you since you know this, but readers that may not. God bless you today and your therapist!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
