Description
Children today face increased anxiety, reduced play, and excessive screen exposure, all of which affect their emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, and relational development.
Join Dr. Dan Siegel for an inspirational workshop where he equips you with a practical framework to address these challenges, integrating the Patterns of Developmental Pathways (PDP) model with Whole-Brain Child strategies.
Grounded in interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB), attachment theory, and developmental neuroscience, this session provides tools to help children build emotional balance, strengthen executive function, and foster healthy relationships. Therapists will gain clinical insights and evidence-based interventions to support neural integration, resilience, and whole-child development.
You’ll learn:
- Practical strategies to enhance emotional regulation and executive function
- Techniques to strengthen caregiver-child relationships using IPNB principles
- Interventions to promote neural integration and resilience in therapy
- Tools for applying the PDP model alongside Whole-Brain Child strategies

Objectives
- Understand the impact of chronic stress, decreased play, and excessive screen exposure on children's brain development through the lens of the PDP model and Whole-Brain Child principles.
- Apply Whole-Brain Child strategies to support emotional regulation, executive function, and resilience in therapy with children and families.
- Integrate the PDP model to tailor interventions that foster neural integration and support children in developing a cohesive sense of self despite environmental stressors.
Outline
Introduction
- Brief overview of current challenges in child development: chronic stress, reduced play, and excessive screen exposure.
- Introduction to Whole-Brain Child strategies and the PDP model as frameworks for intervention.
Understanding the Impact of Modern Stressors on Children's Brains
- The neuroscience of stress, play, and screen exposure.
- The role of integration in emotional and cognitive development (linking left-right, top-bottom, and interoceptive-exteroceptive processing).
Applying Whole-Brain Child Strategies in Therapy
- Strategies for fostering emotional regulation (e.g., "Name It to Tame It" and "Engage, Don’t Enrage").
- Tools for building executive function (e.g., reframing "discipline" as skill-building rather than punishment).
Integrating the PDP Model for Tailored Interventions
- How the PDP model helps therapists assess individual developmental pathways in children.
- Case examples illustrating the use of PDP-informed interventions.
Insights from Personality and Wholeness in Therapy
- Understanding the 9 patterns of developmental pathways and their relevance in child development.
- How these patterns inform personality formation and therapeutic approaches.
Practical Strategies for a Screen-Saturated, Play-Deprived World
- Techniques to increase play-based experiences in therapy and at home.
- Navigating family resistance to screen-time limits and play promotion.
Attachment, Regulation, and Personality Development
- The role of early relational experiences in shaping children's personality and self-regulation.
- How therapists can support caregivers in fostering secure attachment relationships.
- Risks and limitations for navigating boundaries of attachment work, addressing caregiving readiness and capacity.
