SUMMARY:Understanding the Mind of the Child with Lying and Stealing Problems
DESCRIPTION:Lying and stealing can be fairly typical behaviors in children from traumatic backgrounds. They have often served to help the child survive in a world perceived as dangerous and ungiving. The mind of the child who resorts to secret and solitary behaviors may believe that needs and wants are not met by parents. We will explain the possible origins of these behaviors\, and intervention considerations will be discussed as a part of this workshop.

SUMMARY:Wired Winds: Understanding the Impact of Technology\, Screen Time\, and Social Media on Growing Brains
DESCRIPTION:In today’s digital age\, technology is woven into nearly every part of our children’s lives- from classrooms to living rooms\, and everywhere in between. But how is this constant connectivity shaping their brains\, and what does this mean for behavior and well-being? \nThis presentation is designed for caregivers and professionals who want to better understand how screen time\, digital media\, and social platforms are influencing brain development in children and teens. We will explore what current neuroscience and developmental psychology research reveals about attention\, emotional regulation\, sleep\, and how overexposure to screens and social media may impact overall mental health and brain development.
