About Understanding Behaviors - Workshop 1
Seeing beyond misbehavior: decoding stress and the nervous system at home.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why does my child keep doing this? They should know better!” — you’re not alone.
This first workshop in The Connected Parent Series will help you see your child’s behavior through a new lens — one grounded in neuroscience, emotional safety, and connection.
Led by trauma-informed educator and mindfulness specialist Kelly McIntosh, this interactive session will guide you through:
The difference between intentional misbehavior and stress responses
What your child’s behavior is actually communicating about their nervous system
How to respond with calm and connection instead of chaos and reactivity
Simple co-regulation tools you can use right away at home
You’ll leave with fresh insight, practical language, and a deep sense of compassion — for your child and for yourself.
