How do we help kids with intense anger when their parents say they "refuse" to try the strategies they have been taught? Guest Jessica Sinarski shares her trauma-informed strategies to teach children about their brain and help them understand and regulate their emotions. Whether it is helping them strengthen that "staircase" between their upstairs brain and their downstairs brain or helping them get familiar with their "acting before thinking" and "thinking before acting" teams, Jessica has clear and effective strategies that clinicians and parents can implement easily.
Jessica Sinarski is a licensed professional counselor of mental health, author, speaker, and instigator of hope. She offers deeply trauma-informed support and education for home, school, and community audiences. Weaving user-friendly brain science into everything she does, Jessica ignites both passion and know-how in audiences.
