What happens when we force compliance instead of offering connection? 🤔 For kids with FASD, fast-paced or highly stressful situations can quickly become overwhelming, making traditional discipline, consequences, and even compliance-focused games like "Simon Says" extra stressful. In this video, we explore how their brains process stress and why stopping, connecting, and supporting is always a more effective approach than demanding immediate obedience. With Part 4 of our second series, “Life with FASD”, we are looking at how a shift in how we communicate can completely change the outcome for a child. 🎬

What are some ways you practice connection over compliance when a child is feeling overwhelmed? 🤷 We want to hear from you! Please share this video to help us spread the word, and drop your thoughts in the comments below. Let’s get talking! 👇✨
