Pathways to Support and Heal Our Children - and Ourselves!

with Susan Johnson MD

Looking beyond the labels, we will be learning to better observe, assess and strengthen children’s physical movements, life forces, and learning strategies.  We will learn how to support the visual, auditory and hands-on kinesthetic, phonetic-based reading abilities that can be accompanied by inner-imaginative picturing. Understanding and supporting and children in these ways lays the foundation for their overall sense of self-mastery and well-being.  

Caring for our children through these observational and supporting ways results in our own positive development!
