The Nervous System Navigators
Is your child struggling to identify emotions, having frequent meltdowns, or withdrawing when stressed? The Nervous System Navigators is a 4-week polyvagal-based group designed to help children aged 6–10 understand their emotional reactions and build lasting self-regulation skills. We use the fun, easy-to-grasp metaphors of the "Owl Brain" (calm), "Tiger Brain" (fight/flight), and "Turtle Brain" (shutdown) to provide a creative, body-based toolkit for managing stress, anxiety, and identifying their feelings. This structured, therapeutic group empowers children to move out of survival states and back to a place of safety and connection.
