What if a child’s behavior wasn’t just emotional, but neurological—a signal directly from the brain and body? Dr. Christopher K. Slayton has spent over 30 years studying how the brain, body, and sensory signals shape self-awareness and mental health in children, especially those affected by prenatal trauma.



In this episode, Dr. Slayton dives into the “brain talk” that can help parents, educators, and caregivers understand underlying neurological cues, improve self-awareness, and foster better mental health outcomes. If you’re ready to explore a groundbreaking perspective on children’s behavior and learn strategies to create real change in young lives, this conversation is a must-listen.
