For kids, going to the doctor, dentist, or (fill in the healthcare blank) is often stressful.
Is your clinic's environment causing kids more stress? Or does it makes them feel goooooood? How do you know?
You have a few precious minutes right before their appointment to shift their stress and sensory overload into calm and giggles. The best thing is, YOU don't have to do anything because your clinic's environment will do it for you.
3 Keys to Restorative Children's Therapeutic Environments is a course designed to help you enhance your practice's children's spaces to help balance their nervous system so they're feeling good and ready for their time with you.
What if you made small, strategic tweaks to places like your entry area, waiting room, and therapeutic rooms? What if these small adjustments helped your littlest patients shed stress and gain sensory balance? To go from survival mode to a state of balance and joy in those few minutes prior to their time with you?
This course will teach you how to look at the children's spaces within your own practice from a unique and essential perspective: children's nervous system. You'll learn about "restorative environments" and transformative power of sensory-rich, nature-inspired children's spaces.
This digital course is laid out in 3 modules (video format) with eye-opening, practical, and actionable information to make strategic tweaks to spaces like your entry, waiting room, therapeutic rooms, and outdoor spaces. You'll discover the 3 keys to creating a pediatric space that brings peace, calm, and sensory balance for your kiddos, their families, your staff, and you, too!

Description
Here's the Course to inspire the natural play and learning space tailored to YOUR child’s unique mind, body, and spirit.
This course will teach you how to create a natural play and learning space that supports the single most important thing in childhood: their nervous system.
The Sensory-Rich Nature Play Essentials course will help you plan a play and learning space around your children's individual sensory needs and what lights them up! You'll get the roadmap to take confident action in creating a "budding" outdoor nature-filled, sensory-rich play and learning place you're child will find absolutely irresistible...because it's inspired by them!
This digital course is laid out in 4 modules (video format) with eye-opening, practical, and actionable information to get you started creating the nature play area of your child's dreams...a place that, for them, feels like a sanctuary wrapped in a superhero's cape woven of joy, wonder, the daily discovery of new and exciting worlds. I'm kinda not kidding.
Here's what’s included in this course:
Module 1. Children’s nervous systems: the foundation.
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, in childhood comes down to one thing: their nervous system. This module goes in-depth on how the essential purpose of our nervous system, our sensory systems, and how multi-sensory play and learning activities feed the body and the brain.
Module 2. Nature play + children's 7 senses.
Did you know we have more than just the 5 senses? There are 7 physical senses that are equally important to children's ability to understand their environments and thrive in their daily lives. Are their environments stimulating them in all the right ways? What if they're hypersensitive or hyposensitive to certain stimuli? How do you create a sensory-rich play and learning area for many children, and support all of their different needs?
Module 3. The starting point for tailor-made nature play.
This module walks you through the first, most important step in planning an irresistible sensory-rich natural play and learning place: YOUR KIDS. This approach will ensure your nature play area is truly tailored to your kiddos.
Module 4. Creating a “budding” nature play space.
We'll set you up to make your new nature play space a reality! You'll learn how to evaluate the environment you’re working with and plan out their ideal nature play setting. This is a process your kids can join in, and we'll provide the tools to help them get involved!
In addition to the modules, you'll get the resources, references, and tools to guide you and keep you confidently on the path to successfully plan out and, ultimately, make their new play and learning space a reality.
