This workshop brings fresh integrative research-based and clinically proven techniques to enhance initiation, engagement, attending behavior and memory, as well as processing and self-monitoring.

Together, we will explore integrative tools we can use with challenges such as: the kid who scores well on tests but performs poorly in school, who is distracted and impulsive, who lacks motivation or is hindered by anxiety.

We will explore the foundational elements of brain function, effects of the gut and sensory input, as well as stress and fear. Then we will devote our time to learning and experiencing specific strategies that will make a real difference in children’s lives:

• Developing healthy habits
• Yoga
• Mindfulness and meditation
• Breath
• Self-generation and determination
