The ultimate experience is your brain's body. When we truly understand this fundamental connection, we transform how we relate to ourselves and others, especially children in crisis.
Imagine speaking to a child's neurophysical system rather than merely reacting to their physical behavior. When children push back with "I don't care," they are actively blocking the transfer between their physical self and their attempts at meaningful connection. The key is recognizing this resistance not as defiance but as a signal that they do not yet know how to feel you—to process your messaging through their inner sense of feel for self.
Every interaction becomes an opportunity for growth when we shift from physical reactions to neurophysical engagement. Rather than meeting a child's anger with aggression (physics responding to physics), we can maintain rational compassion (neurophysics) by consciously settling ourselves to address their brain. This approach requires daily practice and consistency—specifically 14 days of intentional effort to change interaction patterns. The transformation occurs subtly as children begin to experience your intellectual self on a continuous basis, talking them through crises with understanding rather than confrontation.
What makes this method powerful is its foundation in basic social learning: live, learn, think, respond, contact, interact, cooperate, participate, and reflect. These are not academic concepts but practical tools for navigating the complex terrain of human connection. When a child cannot interact effectively through their emotions, they struggle to receive your signs of care, instead releasing signals of anger, fear, and anxiety. Your consistent brain-focused communication helps them develop the self-awareness needed to navigate these challenging emotional states.
Ready to transform your approach to challenging relationships? Try speaking to the brain, not the body, for fourteen consistent days and watch as new pathways of connection begin to form. Your inner voice has the power to create change—both within yourself and those you interact with daily.
