EP 224: Is Behavior Change the Goal?
When you're dealing with whining, hitting, defiance, back talk…well, of course you want it to stop. But what if behavior change isn’t actually the place to start? Not for long-term behavior change, at least.
In this episode, I explore why behavior change does matter, but why it’s not the first goal, especially for kids with vulnerable nervous systems.
HEADS UP! I’m not necessarily asking YOU- the one facing these out of control behaviors- to change your goal of behavior change. But…what if the people who are helping you could stay focused on that truth?!
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why all behavior makes sense—even the baffling kind
- What happens when we shift from changing behavior to addressing the nervous system
- How holding two truths at once helps you feel more regulated, even in hard moments
Resources mentioned in this podcast:
- All Behavior Makes Sense {EP 198}
- Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior {Ep 84}
- Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior - Webinar and eBook
