Description: Body and Brain Brilliance by Lori Desautels Body and Brain Brilliance helps adults and students manage nervous system dysregulation with practical activities for emotional regulation and compassionate response. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description When adults become aware of their nervous systems, they can recognize their emotional triggers or activators, sense the dysregulation in their bodies and brains, and respond accordingly. This allows adults to lean into curiosity when encountering a dysregulated child, empowering them to respond with compassion and connection over control, escalation, and compliance.Body and Brain Brilliance, a neuro-educational manual for social and emotional development embracing all ages, as well as educator nervous systems, will address the science and the language of our nervous systems as educators and students learn together. Our nervous systems are continually storing, metabolizing, and conserving energy, which is why it is so critical to integrate neuroeducational practices into our schools now. When our nervous system reserves are low to empty, we observe and discipline behaviors that we label aggressive, defiant, or apathetic, to name a few. Still, we miss the dysregulation and pain beneath behaviors, which is what the Body and Brain Brilliance will address.This manual and accompanying modules will provide mini-activities with relational and preventative practices as we prepare adults and students to get out in front of experiences that feel unsafe and isolating, thereby creating negative behaviors. Our nervous system is social, and when we address emotional regulation, these practices are about healthy bi-directional communication between adults and youth, even when we are disciplining, and especially when we are disciplining.

Review "Accessible, practical, and transformative, Body and Brain Brilliance guides educators and administrators to provide the regulated, positive repeated experiences students need to thrive. By showing how to keep our own nervous systems in mind, shift our own states, and then co-regulating with our students, Desautels provides a roadmap for how to effectively hold our students nervous systems in mind, even in the most challenging moments, where students are most vulnerable. If educators put this lens-shift into practice, it would revolutionize the kinds of experiences kids and teachers have every day." -Tina Payne Bryson, LCSW, Ph.D., New York Times Bestselling co-author of The Whole-Brain Child & No-Drama Discipline"Body and Brain Brilliance is a deeply insightful resource that shows us how to honor the space between adult and child in a way that offers connection, healing, and growth.
