In this edition, I am honored and pleased to present to you Carol Stock Kranowitz, M.A.

Carol Stock Kranowitz

In this conversation, Carol Kranowitz, author of The Out-of-Sync Child and The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun, discusses Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). As a music, movement and drama teacher for 25 years, she observed many out-of-sync preschoolers. To help them become more competent in their work and play, she began to study sensory processing and sensory integration (”SI”) theory. She learned to help identify her young students’ needs and to steer them into early intervention.

Listen in as Carol explains what it means for a child to not have control over his own body and how to identify if
your child may be struggling with SPD. She gives real-life solutions to help your child exercise his neurological system to return back to a state of balance and regulation.

Join Heather T. Forbes on the Dare To Love Parenting Expert Podcast interview with Dr. Andrew Newberg

Dr. Andrew Newberg is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with secondary appointments in the Department of Psychiatry and the Department of Religious Studies. Dr. Newberg has actively pursued neuroimaging research projects, including the study of aging and dementia, epilepsy, and other neurological and psychiatric disorders. He is the author of numerous books, including “Why We Believe What We Believe.”

Listen in as Dr. Newberg discusses how our belief systems affect the chemistry and neurology of our bodies. Learn how a child’s beliefs are hard wired in the developing years and why children hold on so strongly to these beliefs, whether they are truthful or not. This interview will give you a deeper understanding as to why a child may adamantly believe from his experiences that he isn’t lovable and that nobody really loves him.

Join Heather T. Forbes, LCSW and Dr. Ronald Federici as they discuss the dynamics in transitioning these children from disaster to safety and security.

Dr. Bruce Perry Interviewed by Heather T. Forbes, LCSW on the Dare To Love Parenting Podcast!

Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D. is the Senior Fellow of
The ChildTrauma Academy, a not-for-profit organization
based in Houston that promotes innovations in service,
research and education in child maltreatment and
childhood trauma (www.ChildTrauma.org). Dr. Perry

What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss,
Love and Healing. Dr. Perry has been an active teacher,
clinician and researcher in children’s mental health and
the neurosciences holding a variety of academic positions.

Listen in as we discuss developmental neuroscience,
the stress response system, and how trauma affects a
child’s development. Dr. Perry speaks directly to the
misunderstandings surrounding the issues of children and
trauma. This is one of the most informative interviews I’ve
had to date, so you’ll want to make sure you don’t miss this one!

A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of being interviewed on a local radio station here in Boulder (KGNU). Kim Poletti, a mom who has attended some of my trainings, did a wonderful job asking just the right questions.

For this month’s Q&A, I am providing you with the link to this audio recording. It is far more in-depth than what I could write in a typical Q&A. Simply click to listen in: How the Stress of the Economy Impacts Our Children.

Enjoy!
