Neuroscience research teaches us that there are environmental factors, teratogens, and other pre- or post-natal toxic stress such as trauma, alcohol exposure and drug exposure that can impact the developing brain.

Our experience also tells us that many children who have been impacted in such ways struggle to have successful relationships with others in their lives whether it be friends, siblings, or other family members. Why is this, exactly? Additionally, why do the standard, commonly accepted support and discipline techniques fail when applied to these kids? And, most importantly, what can parents do to support these children and teens differently (and more successfully) when it comes to being in reciprocal relationships with others?

Part 1 of Eileen’s interactive live webinar will provide information on how to understand the root cause of these relational challenges in kids and teens who live with neurobehavioral challenges from a Brain First lens.
