Chat with Dr. Mona Delahooke about ways to help children in a 'fight or flight' state and beyond.

In this short video, I chat with Dr. Mona Delahooke about the Polyvagal theory and strategies to support children when they shut down or enter a fight-or-flight state. We delve into her book, "Beyond Behaviors," which transformed my perspective on parenting by viewing behaviors as just the tip of the iceberg and emphasizing the importance of building meaningful relationships.

As parents, it's crucial to recognize and address key signals by understanding a child's individual differences within the context of relational safety. We also discuss DIR FloorTime, bottom-up and top-down approaches, and the idea that there is no such thing as "good" or "bad" behavior.

Dr. Delahooke, a member of the American Psychological Association, holds the highest endorsement in infant and toddler mental health in California as a Reflective Practice Mentor (RPM). She is a renowned speaker, trainer, and consultant for parents, organizations, schools, and public agencies. Her career is dedicated to promoting compassionate, relationship-based, neurodevelopmental interventions for children with developmental, behavioral, emotional, and learning differences.
