Episode 4: The Pivotal Role of The Body in Child Development for Parents and Teachers

Today, we talk with parenting coach, former Special Education teacher, and yoga therapist Yael Sunshine. Yael emphasizes a somatic focus for parents and teachers as we support our children and students in their learning and relating. We talk about ‘the hen house’ of the mind when the nervous system is unregulated. We talk about the unique needs of all children and the unlocking of potential when those needs are met. We talk about music, breathwork, and movement as integral to the stillness and focus that some learning and practices require.
