We introduce the core reframe together, that big behaviour is rarely random, it's a nervous system trying to organise itself, and play is often the mechanism it uses. This sets up your three pathways for the week, Calm, Move, and Organise, and leaves you with one small task, just notice one moment of behaviour today.
We explore what it looks like when a child needs to slow down, clinging, wrapping, retreating, rocking, and stillness, and why deep pressure and containment genuinely settle an overloaded nervous system. You'll try one Calm strategy today, from a deep pressure cuddle to a blanket wrap, and meet the first schema name of the week, enveloping.
We unpack what it looks like when a child needs to release energy, running, crashing, throwing, and pushing, and the difference between needing movement, heavy work, or structure. We introduce the idea of meeting the urge rather than just moving the child, and name three schemas along the way, rotation, transporting, and trajectory.
We look at what it looks like when a busy brain needs to complete something, lining up, filling and emptying, wrapping, carrying, and building. We reframe the distress at a disrupted arrangement as interrupted work rather than overreaction, and name three more schemas, positioning, containing, and connecting.
We bring Calm, Move, and Organise together into one working habit you can carry forward, and give you a first taste of Pause the Label, the opening step of the full Decoder. We close by naming that there are nine schemas in total, and pointing you toward Schema Spot for the complete picture.
Join us to bring calm, emotional regulation, and joyful connection back into their daily routine.
