Children Don’t Need More Control with Noah Crane & Frances Fishman | World Healing Tour Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Frances Fishman, founder of The Play Base, to talk about children, healing, behavior, nervous system regulation, and why true support starts with connection.Frances is an unconventional Board Certified Behavior Analyst who is helping transform the world of ABA by leading with the heart first. Through mindfulness, trauma awareness, nervous system understanding, and child-led play, she is showing families and educators a more compassionate way to help children grow.We talk about how children often teach us more than we teach them, why behavior is never just behavior, and how so many of us were never taught the tools to regulate our own nervous systems. This conversation is not only for parents but for anyone who wants to understand children more deeply, heal their own inner child, and create more compassion in the way we relate to others.Frances shares how her path into this work unfolded, why play is such a powerful language for healing, and how leading with presence, intuition, and compassion can create much greater transformation than simply following a textbook.Here’s what we explore:✔ Why children are often more connected, open, and less conditioned than adults✔ How Frances found her path into behavior therapy and why it changed her life✔ What ABA really is and how Frances is helping reshape it✔ Why play is one of the most powerful ways children learn✔ The role of trauma, neurodiversity, and the nervous system in behavior✔ Why regulation must come before correction✔ How parents can recognize when a child may need support✔ The importance of boundaries, compassion, and early intervention✔ How our own inner child and healing journey affect the way we parent and support othersThis is a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about children, nervous system healing, compassion, and creating a more human way to help others thrive._________________________🔗 Connect with Frances Fishman🌐 Website: us.theplaybase.com📧 Email: [email protected]📅 Book a consultation: https://calendly.com/frances-zng/coaching-call🎙 Podcast: The Play Base Podcast🔗 CONNECT WITH ME (Noah Crane)🌐 Website: https://www.noahcrane.com📷 Instagram: @noahcrane_ⓕ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/noahcraneauthor/ℹ️ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noahcranewht/♪ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@noah_crane📖 The Grass Grows Where I Am: https://www.amazon.com/Grass-Grows-Where-Am-Holistic/dp/1733172823🎙️ Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@noahcraneauthor/podcasts
