What is the meaning behind your child's behaviour? When your child is stressed for longer periods of time, minor triggers can send him into fight, flight or freeze, creating an inaccurate stress-response pattern that can either over-mobilize or immobilize your child, impacting social engagement with others. Such heightened or withdrawn stress-behaviour can be inaccurately interpreted as mis-behaviour. Adults can react to mis-behaviour as a problem and seek out shortterm fixes or respond to stress-behaviour as communication and focus on long-term growth.

Responsive Parenting

What is the meaning behind your child's behaviour? When your child is stressed for longer periods of time, minor triggers can send him into fight, flight or freeze, creating an inaccurate stress-response pattern that can either over-mobilize or immobilize your child, impacting social engagement with others. Such heightened or withdrawn stress-behaviour can be inaccurately interpreted as mis-behaviour. Adults can react to mis-behaviour as a problem and seek out short-term fixes or respond to stress-behaviour as communication and focus on long-term growth. More info:www.treerootscounselling.com.

What’s the one thing that connects us all, when we get right down to it? The one and only thing that we can be absolutely guaranteed to have in common is our mortality: we were born, and one day, we will die. Our cultural and personal disconnection from this beautiful fact shapes how we move through our lives, and it definitely shapes how we will manage our own deaths, and the deaths of those we hold dear. Join us for one or all of these in-depth discussions exploring everything you need to “Know Before You Go”. These facilitated conversations are designed to allow everyone to engage with the topic in meaningful ways. Every session will be 90 minutes long, incorporating a guided discussion, presentation, and question/answer period.
