Your intuition is right ~ here's the science to prove it
Join us for a six week online course exploring the science behind what allows us to feel safe and connected, to ourselves and others.
Through engaging examples from our herd, we will explore brain development, the nervous system, and attachment theory as they relate to supporting our children's development, and maybe even our own.
Do you ever find yourself advocating for your child to have routines around transitions, or more time to process things, or less sensory input? That is because you know, at a deep gut level, that this is what your child needs. But our world is not always responsive to these needs, and we often find ourselves embedded in a hurry-up, toughen-up, society. This can lead to strain on our relationships and wellbeing, both within our families, and with the outside world.
In this course you will learn why routines, time, movement, and rhythm are actually vital developmental needs, and how you can best support these needs in your everyday life. Together we will explore the science in easy to understand language, drawing on research in child development, neurobiology, and the nervous system to better understand the biological processes taking place beneath your child's behavior. Using often humorous examples from our horse herd, personal anecdotes, and clear visuals, our goal is to make the science meaningful, clear, and engaging so you can better understand not only what is happening in your child's body, but also what you can do to support them.
This course will equip you with the knowledge to advocate with confidence, clearly articulate what your child needs and why, and stay grounded in the trust that your intuition is backed by evidence, and needs no further justification.
