Your Child Isn't 'Bad', They're Dysregulated: The Why Behind Team Peace | Kara Schmidt

Описание: "I didn't know what to do with my emotions."
That is what a 5th grader told Kara Schmidt after going through the Team Peace program. They weren’t a "bad kid", they just didn't have the language to explain what was happening inside their brain.
In this episode, Dr. T sits down with Kara Schmidt to uncover The Why behind Team Peace, a program now reaching nearly 2,000 students in Orange County. Kara reveals how a conversation about preventing school shootings evolved into a neuroscience-based curriculum that is changing how our kids (and their parents) handle stress.
We dive into:
• The Origin: How a first-grade teacher’s fear of school shootings sparked a movement for connection.
• The Science: The simple "Polyvagal Theory" lesson that teaches kindergartners why they "flip their lid".
• The "Why": Why standing up after 20 minutes isn't just a break, it's biologically necessary for the brain.
• The Impact: Why does understanding your amygdala create more grace and compassion for everyone.
"We can't change families... but we can teach good skills."
