WHO THE PROGRAM IS FOR

Does this sound familiar?

"Every morning is a battle. I'm constantly nagging about getting dressed, brushing teeth, finding shoes... We're always running late and everyone's stressed before the day even starts."

"My child has meltdowns during transitions and can't seem to follow our routine without me standing over them giving constant reminders. I feel like a broken record."

"Bedtime takes forever. My child struggles to wind down, has trouble falling asleep independently, and mornings are rough because they're tired and dysregulated."

"I know my child is capable of more independence, but they seem to need me for everything. I want to help them feel confident managing their own routine."

If these challenges sound familiar, you are not alone. It's exactly why we've designed this program.

This program helps families move from daily routine battles to calm, independent mornings and evenings, while teaching children the regulation skills they need to manage their own "engine speed" and feel confident in their daily routines.

ABOUT THE VIDEO TRAINING

What the program covers

The Therapy at Home Routines Program focuses on exploring the 6 Pillars of Health as a foundation for establishing healthy habits and supportive daily routines.

The Routines Workbook and accompanying videos will guide children through understanding their different engine speeds (high, low and ‘just right’) and how the 6 Pillars of Health can be used on a daily basis to support a ‘just right’ engine speed.

The 6 Pillars of Health - movement, real food, time in nature, free play, love and connection and quality sleep - are investigated and explored so that children can learn more about their own personal preferences for using these to build healthy habits.

Following this exploration, they will be guided to experiment with and develop morning, afternoon and evening routines to support a ‘just right’ engine speed.

The toolbox provides a range of visual and auditory tools to assist the whole family in maintaining these healthy habits and daily routines.
