Brain mapping is not about making a complicated brain average. It is about understanding what the brain is doing. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Andrew Hill, a cognitive neuroscientist, brain mapping expert, founder of Peak Brain Institute, and author of Gifted & Tortured. And yes, we go right into the brain. Andrew talks about brain mapping, quantitative EEG, neurofeedback, and how certain patterns of brain activity can help us think differently about what we see on the outside: attention, anxiety, sleep, sensory processing, executive function, threat sensitivity, intensity, hyperfocus, and dysregulation. You know. The usual light parenting topics. One of the things I wanted to say out loud in this conversation is that behavior has an internal neurological reality. When a child is distracted, avoidant, anxious, explosive, intense, stuck, shut down, or unable to shift gears, there may be something happening underneath that behavior that deserves our attention. Not because behavior does not matter. Because behavior is not the whole explanation. Andrew explains that brain mapping is not the same thing as a diagnosis. It does not hand you a perfect label or a neat little answer wrapped in a bow. Instead, it can show patterns of activity and help people understand how certain brain resources may be working. That can be powerful. Because when a child or adult can see, "Oh, this is how my brain works," the conversation can shift. It is no longer only, "What is wrong with me?" It becomes, "What does my brain need?" We also talk about the title of Andrew's book, Gifted & Tortured, and why that phrase makes so much sense for complicated kids. The same brain resources that create struggle in one setting can be connected to real strengths somewhere else. The kid who cannot sit still in history class may be the kid who can hyperfocus, move fast, think creatively, notice patterns, or perform beautifully in a high-intensity context. That does not make the hard parts less hard. It does mean we should be careful about treating the brain like it is only a problem. Andrew also walks us into neurofeedback, which he describes as a way of helping the brain practice regulation. Not magic. Not a personality transplant. Not a plan to erase everything interesting about a person. More like giving the brain feedback so it can build more flexibility and range. And yes, there is a cat-on-a-windowsill metaphor that somehow explains sensory motor rhythm and ADHD. I loved this conversation because it gives us another way to think about complicated kids. Not as diagnoses to flatten. Not as behaviors to manage from the outside only. Not as children who need to be made average. But as people with brains that are doing something. And if we can understand even a little more about what that something is, we have a better chance of helping. Key Takeaways Brain mapping can show patterns of brain activity, but it is not the same thing as a diagnosis. Behavior may be the visible part of a deeper regulation pattern. ADHD, anxiety, sleep struggles, sensory processing, and executive function can all be understood through a brain-based lens. What looks like avoidance, distraction, intensity, or dysregulation is not always a choice or a character issue. A child's challenges and strengths may come from the same brain resources. The goal is not to make a complicated brain average. Understanding how the brain works can reduce shame and give kids and adults more agency. Some regulatory systems, including sleep, stress response, attention, and sensory processing, may be more flexible than we assume. Neurofeedback is about helping the brain practice regulation, not changing who a person is. When we understand more about what is happening underneath behavior, we can respond with more curiosity, more precision, and less panic. About Andrew Hill Dr. Andrew Hill is a UCLA-trained neuroscientist and author of Gifted & Tortured, a book exploring the strengths and struggles of high-performing, neurodivergent minds. With more than 25 years of experience in neurofeedback and brain mapping, he helps people understand and regulate their unique cognitive wiring. He is the founder of Peak Brain Institute and works with people to better understand their brains through quantitative EEG, neurofeedback, and biofeedback.

You do not have to be afraid of big emotions, but you do need a way to meet them. In this episode, I talk with Elizabeth Sautter about what actually helps in those moments when a child's feelings get big. Elizabeth walks us through her ABCs of big emotions framework: first assess and get curious, then balance the brain, and then move toward connection and collaboration. We talk about why behavior is data, why the first move is not fixing or teaching, and why the adult's ability to pause matters so much. She also reminds us that self-care is not selfish, it is essential, because we cannot lend regulation to a child when our own system is already flooded. We also get into what this looks like in real life. Elizabeth explains why telling a dysregulated child to take a deep breath often backfires, why "listen and validate" has to come before problem-solving, and why connection in the moment is different from collaboration later. There is such a helpful reframe here around emotions taking the time they take. The goal is not to rush them out of the body. The goal is to help a child feel safe enough to move through them and then build more skills outside the crisis moment. Key Takeaways Big emotions are data. They are not something to fear or immediately shut down. They are a stress response and a form of communication. The first step is assessment, not control. Elizabeth's "A" is about assessing the moment, pausing, and getting curious about what is really happening underneath the behavior. Self-care is part of co-regulation. If the adult nervous system is already overwhelmed, it is much harder to respond with steadiness. Balance the brain before you try to teach. The "B" is about helping the adult and child nervous systems settle enough that thinking becomes possible again. One breath for me, one breath for you. Elizabeth offers this as a simple way for adults to ground themselves and orient toward supporting the child without demanding the child self-regulate first. Do not ask a dysregulated child to perform calm. If a child is already flooded, telling them to breathe or answer questions may just add more pressure. Connection comes before collaboration. In the moment, the work is to listen and validate. The learning, problem-solving, and collaboration happen later, when the child is back in a learning state. Validation does not require fixing. Sometimes what helps most is being present, using a slow and low voice, and letting the child know their feelings are not too much for the relationship. Emotions are not supposed to move on our timetable. Kids are born with all the feelings and not all the skills, so part of the work is tolerating that emotions take time. Skill building mostly happens outside the crisis. The longer-term work is proactive sensory support, movement, regulation tools, and practicing what to do before the next hard moment arrives. About Elizabeth Sautter Elizabeth Sautter, MA, CCC-SLP, is a speech-language pathologist, author, trainer, and social-emotional learning coach with more than 25 years of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families. She is the author of Make Social and Emotional Learning Stick, co-founder of The Connected Family Community, and a collaborator with The Zones of Regulation® and Everyday Regulation.

If a child is struggling to learn to read, waiting rarely makes that easier. In this episode, I talk with Faye Bankler Casell about what parents need to know when early reading is not coming together the way it should. Faye explains why reading instruction in schools can feel like a lottery system, why so many children are still being missed until third or fourth grade, and why first grade is such an important window for intervention. We talk about the science of reading, early identification, and the very real difference between a child who is guessing well and a child who is actually decoding. We also get into what parents can actually do. Faye walks through the foundational sound-level skills that matter most, what to watch for in preschool and kindergarten, and why waiting for a child to fail before acting can come at such a high cost academically and emotionally. One of the things I really love about this conversation is how practical and hopeful it is. Parents do not need to become reading specialists overnight, but they can learn what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to start supporting a child sooner rather than later. Key Takeaways Early intervention matters enormously. If a child is not learning to read easily, first grade is a powerful time to intervene. Waiting until fourth grade makes intervention longer and much harder. A child can show risk signs before they are formally reading. Faye explains that dyslexia risk can often be identified by around age five and a half because the issue is rooted in language processing, not just school reading performance. Reading struggles often start at the sound level. Parents want to look closely at phonological awareness, letter-sound connections, rhyming, sound deletion, and sound substitution. Some bright kids compensate for a long time. A child may memorize words, guess from pictures, or use the first letter as a clue, which can make it look like reading is fine until the demands get heavier. Third grade is often when the mask slips. That is when memorization stops being enough and multisyllabic academic language starts to expose the underlying gaps. Structured literacy helps all kids and is essential for some. Faye frames this approach as beneficial for everyone and absolutely necessary for children whose brains are not going to intuit reading patterns on their own. Speech and language history matters. If a child has had speech delays or ongoing language-processing concerns, that is a reason to stay especially alert around reading development. Parents do not have to wait passively. Even while seeking testing, services, or better school support, there are meaningful ways families can start helping at home. Correct answers do not always mean mastery. A child can get a word or pattern right through guessing or partial knowledge, which is why adult observation still matters so much. This is not about a broken child. It is about teaching in a way that matches how the child learns. The burden belongs with the adults and the system, not with the child. About Faye Bankler Casell Faye Bankler Casell received her MA in Early Childhood Education and Special Education from Teachers College Columbia. After teaching in public and private programs across the US, she redesigned an early childhood inclusion program that received recognition from the US Department of Education, NPR, and a national organization. Inspired by the need to launch the reading of her twice exceptional child, Faye became a Certified Academic Language Therapist and Dyslexia Therapist. She now supports parents in the early reading development of their dyslexic children through Home Reading Coach, her social platforms, and her YouTube channel, "Teach My Child to Read." She also works privately with clients and is launching a parent-led, therapist-coached dyslexia program for families supporting reading at home.

The session begins with the party in a state of haste as they prepare to leave Cortillia following a political shift: the Emperor is in a coma, and the Grand Duchess Majira Zin'Drake has become the acting Empress. Ellie and Ciara lead a stealth mission to recover Ciara's armor from a smithy before they depart. To move undetected, several party members use magic to transform into animals—Ellie and Luna become dogs, while another becomes a cat disguised as a tabby. Despite some minor mishaps involving knocked-over tools, they successfully retrieve the armor and leave a note for Kenaris' mom. Once the party reconvenes, they receive news about an upcoming trial in Lychester, the capital of the human kingdom. This is the trial for Luna. They realize they have roughly seven to eight days to reach the capital to attend. The group plans to meet at Restarumn, a wealthy retirement community near the border of the Dwarven Alliance and the Arcane Empire. There is also a brief, heartwarming check-in on family members back in the town of Virkis, where repairs are moving quickly due to the handy nature of the tradespeople there. The party meets Lisster and Endellia, members of Ileh Cagaan ( AKA Blood Guards or Honor guards.) They directly under the emperor's command and have a latent command to escort Ari out of the country and to the border into safe hands in the even that he becomes unable to protect her. During the trek through the Underdark, the party faces environmental challenges like a cave-in caused by a recent earthquake. They use skill checks to traverse the rubble, and at one point, Lisster "princess carries" Ari to assist her. Once on the surface In a pivotal moment, Ellie uses Greater Restoration—facilitated by a diamond provided by Ari—to heal a merman named Aloksha, whose body was half-petrified. After resting, the group reaches the coast. They encounter Captain Drake and Captain Penelope White, eventually deciding to travel by ship toward the Dwarven Alliance. The session concludes with the party preparing for a high-speed ride on Direwolves to ensure they reach Lychester in time for the trial Welcome!

Yet the more research I did, the more I realised I wanted to speak to her about:- awareness, history and truth-telling, - the importance of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and - the power of using your voice, sharing your story and telling your truth.
When Andrew Martin finally met his birth parents, not everything went as he'd hoped, though he learned valuable lessons in doing so. One of those lessons was how to say "no."

We were going to just release this bit of content as Patreon content because it's our shortest yet, but by popular demand, here it is as a minisode...! For all of you Storytellers who feel the need to hide yourselves away from your players, or maybe just shield your dice from revealing too much, the Storyteller's screen is a time-honored tool of the trade. Changeling has had three over the years, one for each edition: some flimsy cardboard, some slightly sturdier cardboard, and most recently for C20, a glossy masterpiece of solidity. For the next eight and a half minutes, we give some comparative notes on what one finds there. May it be helpful to anyone in the market for a physical piece of obfuscation!
