Next step in developing LIFESMART: Integrating Dr. Bruce Perry's three Rs into our LIFESMART thinking. @DrChrisMooreEP Thank you so much. Your practical shares helped me link the 3Rs quickly to LIFESMART.
The “upstairs” can’t be accessed during a heightened state of arousal. We need to reduce stressful demands, convey empathy and provide regulating activities, rather than use strategies which assume that the child can reflect, problem-solve and immediately control impulses.

Thanks @DrChrisMooreEP Just discovered your blog and started following. I am a professor and homeschooling parent and your posts resonate. Thank you for sharing.
