#97 Treat the Nervous System, Not the Behaviour
<p>In this solo episode, Lizzy unpacks the difference between stimulation, regulation and behaviour and why understanding this distinction matters when supporting children.</p><p>She explores how sensory input affects the nervous system, why regulation does not always mean calm, and how behaviour is often the outward signal of what is happening underneath. Lizzy also shares how movement, environment and co-regulation can support children more effectively at home, in therapy and in early learning settings.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Stay Connected with Move.Talk.Thrive</strong></p><p>If this episode resonated with you, share it with a parent, clinician or early childhood educator who supports children with big behaviours, sensory needs or regulation challenges.</p><p>Follow on Instagram → @movetalkthrive</p><p>Watch full episodes on YouTube → Move.Talk.Thrive</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Connect with Us</strong></p><p><strong>Lizzy Dawson</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="http://www.lizzydawson.com.au/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.lizzydawson.com.au</a></p><p>Instagram: @lizzydawson_</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Emily Mackie</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="http://www.emilymackie.com.au/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.emilymackie.com.au</a></p><p>Instagram: @emilymackie.speechie</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>
