“Why did my child give up?”. “Why couldn't they try harder?”. If you have ever had these thoughts, then you have come up against something called “Limbic Braking”.You, your children, and every other human being have experienced this essential, protective brain mechanism at work. But where did it come from? Why are we still treating it like it is something we can control and not something that happens to us? How can we harness the power of self-regulation to release these brakes for ourselves and those we care for?Join Susan Hopkins and Dr. Stuart Shanker as they tackle these questions and delve deep into the human brain for answers.Follow The MEHRIT Centre & Susan on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/Self_Reghttps://twitter.com/susanhopkins5Follow the Stuart Shanker & Co Facebook Pagehttps://www.facebook.com/StuartShankerSelfReg Learn more with the MEHRIT Centre:https://self-reg.ca/online/

Self-regulation is the ability to control one's emotions, thoughts, and actions. It's a critical life skill that impacts every aspect of a person's wellbeing, including their academic success. Self-regulated learners are able to set goals and stick to them, stay focused and on task, manage their time wisely, and cope with stress and setbacks in a healthy way. As you can imagine, these skills are essential for success in the classroom and in life. Karen Braun is joining me on this episode to talk about self-regulation and how that impacts learners in the classroom and at home. Karen Braun is an Inclusive Education Specialist for Palliser School Division. She has been a teacher since 1983 and began working with students with behavioural and mental health challenges in 1990. This has been her passion ever since. After working for a number of years within the constructs of more traditional approaches, Karen knew that there were any things that didn't line up with what she believed in her heart. This started her on a journey of exploration and learning. As part of this journey, she found some excellent research by Dr. Stuart Shanker, the founder of The Mehrit Centre who echoed what she believed, “There is no such thing as a bad kid!” Karen loves to share and teach on regulation, trauma, behaviour strategies, collaborative problem solving and all things inclusive education.   Connect with Karen: Facebook - Karen Vanderleest Braun Twitter - @TchrKaren Instagram - selfreggerkaren   Download Karen's Resources: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10EqViZLDhXPP7pGK6j7N2EMjzaIBJF9k?usp=sharing   Videos mentioned in the episode: Wheel of Emotions: https://www.6seconds.org/2022/03/13/plutchik-wheel-emotions/ Hand-Brain Model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRmnVmELMn8 Long StoryShortz: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC88dVyeFEfwfSXRD7TL03CA   Books mentioned in the episode: Shanker, Stuart - Self-Reg: How to Help Your Child (and You).

Join us for this special presentation with school principal Claudio Moschella on the topic of Self-Reg.Self Regulation is about understanding stress and managing energy and tension.The original psychophysiological definition of self-regulation refers to how we respond to stress—whether in a manner that promotes or restricts growth. Mindful self-regulation, which enhances learning and emotional, social and physical well-being, involves learning to recognize and respond to stress in all its many facets: positive as well as negative, hidden as well as overt, minor as well as traumatic or toxic.Claudio Moschella, a husband and father to 7 and 3 year old girls. Working full time as an Elementary School Principal in a Kindergarten to grade 5 setting. A part time online course facilitator with the Mehrit Centre supporting individuals in their learning journey of Shanker Self-reg.

In this episode, Xavier Bonilla has a dialogue with Stuart Shanker about the neuroscience and philosophical underpinnings of self-regulation. They discuss his clinical and research background in working with children and why he emphasizes a just society with self-reg. They discuss the 5-step method of self-reg and why stress management is important. They talk about infant development and the "4th trimester." They expound upon the evolutionary development of the triune brain and the current critiques of this concept. They talk about the complexities of the cortical and subcortical systems of the limbic system and prefrontal cortex in brain development. They discuss the interbrain and the importance of Allan Schore's work on attachment and the developing brain. They engage about Wittgenstein's concepts around aspects shifts and first person psychological utterances and how we understand temperament and personality in development. They mention the vagus nerve and his ideas about virtue. Stuart Shanker is the Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Psychology at York University. He is also the CEO of MEHRIT Centre, Ltd. He is the author of many books including, Reframed: Self-Reg for a Just Society. You can purchase his books here.

Stuart Shanker, PhD is a world-renown author, researcher and scholar on self-regulation science and creator of the groundbreaking Self-Reg method for cultivating mental and physical well-being. His life's work has focused on the beneficial role that positive stress plays in children's development and learning, and the harmful effects of excessive negative stress on parents, educators, and children. His new book, REFRAMED: Self-Reg for a just society, explores self-regulation in wider, social terms and unpacks the unique science and conceptual practices that are the very lifeblood of the Self-Reg. I have been a big proponent of the Self-Reg methodology and recommend the Self-Reg books and website resources to patients struggling with poor parenting skills and child behavioral problems. Dialoging with Stuart Shanker was simultaneously humbling and affirming. He felt like both a kindred spirit and a wise elder. This episode presents a doable path for healing societal distress and discord by bravely, collectively solving the existential crises of our time.Self-Reg website https://self-reg.ca/Stuart Shanker is Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Psychology at York University. An internationally celebrated speaker, thinker, and writer, Dr.  Shanker is one of the world's leading authorities on self-regulation.

What if there existed a book with a masterful integration of contemporary neuroscience, research on human development, educational theory, and philosophical thought? What if this knowledge was reinterpreted from the perspective of stories about children and what fosters or holds back their developmental potential? And what if the journey led to the conclusion that it is possible to create a genuinely just society? That book is available now, and it is up to us as a society to make the choice to follow its wisdom. Stuart Shanker is a distinguished research professor emeritus of philosophy and psychology at York University, and founder of the MEHRIT Centre, Ltd. He is a world-leading authority and bestselling author on the topic of self-regulation and child development, and the former president of the Council of Early Child Development.

Children's Corner: Self-Reg: How to Help Your Child Break the Stress Cycle ~ Guest: Dr. Stuart Shanker In a paradigm-shifting new book, SELF-REG: How to Help Your Child (and You) Break the Stress Cycle and Successfully Engage with Life, Dr. Shanker reveals a revolutionary new understanding of stress and how it affects children's emotions and behavior, as well as practical advice for parents to help their kids engage calmly and successfully in learning and life. Rooted in decades of clinical practice and research, SELF-REG shows how children's “bad” behavior is often an expression of their inability in the moment to respond to everything going on in and around them. As Dr. Shanker observes, we are seeing a generation of children and teens with excessively high levels of stress and, as a result, an explosion of emotional, social, learning and behavior problems. In addition to the stressors we're well aware of (overscheduling, testing, social pressures), there are many “hidden” stressors—environmental, emotional, physiological—that we may be overlooking. Dr. Stuart Shanker is a distinguished research professor of psychology and philosophy at York University and the creator of The MEHRIT Centre. He is a former president of the Council of Early Child Development. Dr. Shanker attended the University of Toronto, where he received his bachelor's and master's degrees. At the University of Oxford, he obtained his D. Phil. with distinction. For more information visit: http://self-reg.ca/
