About this listen

 "All behavior makes sense"
'"It most certainly does not!", is probably your first reaction.

Parenting and neuroscience expert Robyn Gobbel is here to reveal how all behavior, no matter how baffling, can be explained and remedied. You just need to look past the behavior and understand what's going on inside.

Robyn decodes the latest brain science into easy-to-understand principles and metaphors to help you become an expert in your child's behavior. She reveals simple ways to help you regulate and connect with your child, with brain-, body- and sensory-based strategies to overcome day-to-day challenges. She also provides you with the knowledge to understand and regulate your own brain so that you don't flip your lid when your child flips theirs.

Let this be your lifeline for parenting or caring for any child with baffling behaviors and hidden challenges, including kids who have experienced adversity, or with additional needs.©2024 Robyn Gobbel Child Psychology Children's Health Developmental Psychology Parenting & Families Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Special need Human Brain Health

This book is informative, accessible, creative and above all brain changing for the reader and all those who you are in relationship with. It will expand your knowledge of the workings of your brain and ultimately change you from the inside out. Although it is primarily written for parents it is invaluable for all professionals working with children. I am a child therapist and have already recommended it to clients, supervisees and my own family, even before I had finished it. As I begun to listen to the book I knew I needed a physical copy too to easily refer back to sections. Thank you Robyn for developing the metaphor of the owl, watchdog and possum making neuroscience accessible for all ages.

A must read for all!

The audio book has been so worth the wait. My partner and I are listening together to finally get on the same page as we navigate some challenging parenting. Getting on the same page is half the battle for us as well as learning how to support each others nervous systems. Listening, savouring and talking through a little of Robyn’s wisdom each night together gives me hope and strength for the next day. Thank you :)

So helpful. 🫶

I've listened to this book and found it so helpful in not only understanding my little boys behaviour but my responses and that it's most important to remain calm and collected rather than letting my 'watchdog' brain take over.
since using this method my little boy seems alot calmer and more compliant as he's listening a lot more and I'm finding it easier to communicate with him instead of having battles everyday. Don't get me wrong everyday isn't perfect but it's certainly alot easier!
I've recommend this book to my adoptive parenting friends.
Will definitely be listening to again.

I have read a lot of books and forums about parenting a neuro divergent child with big emotions and behaviours, but this is the best I've read by far!
I know Robyn Gobbel's book is mostly based on children with past trauma but her strategies and advice are for anyone with a sensitive nervous system.
Now when my child is heading for or in a meltdown, I imagine her watchdog brain needing soothing and apply the strategies from the book to help her owl brain return.
I also hear Robyn's voice in my mind and it reminds me to give myself compassion and helps me to stay regulated!
I thoroughly recommend this book and I'll definitely be heading back to sections when I need reminders.
Thank you so much Robyn!!!

I felt so seen!

a fabulous book to help parents and foster parents to understand not only the child's brian but the adults brain in reacting to big emotions and how that affects us as adults 😀
