Ep 1: This is Why I'm Here

In this inaugural episode of Rewire the Response, Dr. David Palmer shares his passionate mission to transform how we approach challenging behaviors in children. Moving beyond traditional behavior management, he reveals why current systems are failing both children and adults, shares the pivotal classroom moment that changed his perspective, and introduces a nervous-system informed approach centered on connection rather than control. This episode lays the foundation for a podcast community where struggling parents and educators can find practical tools, scientific understanding, and permission to be imperfect while learning to respond rather than react to the children in their care.
