Parenting Challenging Behaviors: A Brain-Based Approach
Thursday, October 15
5:30PM - 7:00PM
FREE TO ATTEND
Location: Ozaukee Family Services
Led by: OFS Clinical Director: Leah Keval, LCSW
Parenting a child with challenging behaviors can feel frustrating, confusing, and overwhelming. This presentation explores behavior through a brain-based lens, helping parents understand the "why" behind their child's actions and reactions. Participants will learn how brain development, the nervous system, and emotional regulation influence behavior, as well as how to recognize signs of dysregulation. By understanding the connection between the brain and behavior, parents can shift from reacting in the moment to responding with greater insight, empathy, and effectiveness. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to support regulation, strengthen connection, and encourage cooperation.
