Understanding Your Child’s Heart

Loading player...
It is easy to react to a child’s behaviour without stopping to consider what is driving it. But in therapy, we know that all behaviour is communication. Every action, word, or sudden change in mood is a child’s way of expressing how they feel and what they need.

In this episode, Lauren Edmunds explores what it takes to truly understand your child. Using ideas from character development and empathy, Lauren explains why parents and educators need to look beyond a child’s behaviour to understand what is really going on. She also explores the risks of masking, particularly in neurodivergent children and young girls who hide their struggles to fit in, and explains why feeling accepted for who they are is the foundation for building confidence, self-worth, and trust in themselves.
