This is not an ordinary webinar where a presenter reads slides. If you've ever met Sherry or Dave, you'll know that this conversation is going to be engaging, informative and probably hilarious.
Sherry and Dave will discus how to approach regulation and supporting self-regulation in ways that are straightforward, effective, neuro-affirming and embodied.
Dave will share why he and his team have tried other approaches - but always return to Alert Program®.
Sherry will share what's new in the second edition their book - 'How Does Your Engine Run?® A Leader's Guide to the Alert Program® for Self-Regulation' (2nd ed., 2025), and also their new training - 'Your Best Self: The Alert Program® for All'.
Don't miss the one thing that will make or break your self-regulation program!
WHY “CHALLENGE THE STORY OF REGULATION”?
Too often, children are labelled as:
-
“Oppositional”
-
“Attention-seeking”
-
“Too sensitive” or “too much”
Therapists often think we need overly complex approaches to support these kids
Yet more often - it's the simple approaches that create change that sticks!
Join Sherry and Dave as they help you rewrite those stories.
Using the Alert Program® as a foundation, Dave and Sherry will have a conversation about regulation and show how shifting the story we tell ourselves about children’s regulation changes the strategies we choose – and the outcomes we see.
