Raising calm, confident and connected kids starts here.
As a parent, you want your child to thrive—not just in school or on the playground, but in the way they manage emotions, build friendships, and find joy in learning. But here’s the hard truth: many families today are dealing with intense emotional ups and downs, frustrating daily routines, and even conflicts around focus and behavior. And it’s exhausting.
Maybe you’re noticing these signs in your own home:
Moodiness and Emotional Outbursts: One moment, your child is full of laughter; the next, they’re upset over seemingly small things. This isn’t just “normal childhood,” it’s often a signal of sensory overwhelm and stress that kids can’t process on their own.
Struggles with Focus and Attention: Whether it’s homework, chores, or simply getting through a family meal, sustaining attention seems like a daily battle. And no amount of reminding or “stay on task” talks seem to help.
Social Challenges and Conflicts: You might see them pulling away from other kids or struggling with sharing, taking turns, or resolving conflicts. It’s not that they don’t want to connect; it’s that these skills need support from a brain-health-first approach.
Constant “Boredom” Despite a Room Full of Toys: When kids can’t find joy in play or are constantly shifting between activities, it’s often a sign of sensory overload or underdeveloped attention pathways that leave them feeling unsatisfied.
There’s a Reason for These Patterns, and There’s a Solution.
At Brain Health and Beyond, we understand that these struggles are often rooted in how the brain processes sensory information, motivation, and connection. You’re not just dealing with a “behavior issue”; you’re seeing the effects of stress on a developing brain. Our program focuses on transforming these challenges by addressing the root causes—from building strong attachment and bonding to creating sensory-balanced routines and fostering healthy motivation.
Hello, I’m Gina Taylor, MS OT, HPCS. As a pediatric occupational therapist and a mom myself, I know how deeply you care about helping your child feel confident, connected, and calm. I’ve spent nearly two decades working closely with children and families to unlock the potential for real, lasting changes in behavior, focus, and emotional health.
My background in occupational therapy, sensory integration, and relationship-based approaches allows me to support children and families in ways that reach far beyond “managing behaviors.” I understand how the brain responds to the right mix of bonding, sensory experiences, and motivation, and how, with the right tools, your family can find the balance you’re looking for.
