The three elements of getting in sync

Dr Pamela Douglas28th of Dec 202325th of Jun 2024

There are three ideas which are basic to the Possums programs. These are

  • The dial on your little one's sympathetic nervous system

  • Why responding to your little one's cues or communications as a sensible pattern over time matters

  • The power of experimenting with your two tools or superpowers

    • Frequent, flexible feeds

    • Rich sensory motor nourishment

to keep your little one as dialled down as you sensibly can.
