From Fixing to Connecting

 

 

Discover a different way of thinking about learning that begins not with fixing—but with connecting   

 

 

Experience how a simple shift in perspective can transform the way you connect with a child

  

Helping a child doesn't always begin with changing the child
Sometimes it begins by changing how we see, connect, and learn together

    When we change how we approach learning, new possibilities begin to emerge

From Fixing to Connecting

 

Discover why something as simple as slowing down or bringing attention to movement can dramatically change how learning unfolds.

Along the way, you'll also deepen your awareness of how your own presence, curiosity, and connection can influence a child's learning and open the door to new possibilities.

Rather than focusing on fixing or correcting, this course explores how learning emerges through movement with attention, slowing down, curiosity, awareness, and other foundational principles of ABM NeuroMovement®.

It is designed to provide new perspectives, practical strategies, and tools to create meaningful changes for children and the people supporting them.

About This Course 

 

Are you a parent, grandparent, caregiver, teacher, or therapist supporting a child with special challenges? Do you feel that there is an intelligent, loving child within who could do and be far more than seems possible right now? You may be wondering, What is possible for my child?

 

In this course you will discover that new possibilities will emerge for you and your child. You will learn new ways of thinking, feeling, and interacting that open new possibilities that can be surprising in their immediacy and simplicity.

 

When we perceive something as broken, the natural tendency is to try and fix it. This can work well with inanimate objects. Human beings grow and thrive through connection. In this 11-module course, you will explore, experience, and experiment with the meaning and practice of shifting from fixing to connecting, discover its potential to support positive change, and learn how to apply it in your daily life with your child, family member, or in your work.

 

Based on the pioneering work of Anat Baniel, this course explores how creating the conditions for learning—rather than trying to fix problems—can create the conditions for new possibilities to emerge for children and for the adults who care for them.

 
The From Fixing to Connecting course is not a replacement for the ABMNM practitioner training program. This course is meant as education for parents and professionals that may bring the learning they gained in the course and integrate it into their own life and their interactions and work with children and adults.
 
 

 

What Participants Say

~ Clara C., Physical Therapist

"The course was so amazing. I noticed my own health has improved in the last 10 weeks. I started running again. The people that I support as a physiotherapist have also benefited - from an adult learning to feed herself for the first time, to kids learning to tie their shoelaces for the first time, without me actually asking them to, and a little boy with autism who was able to verbalize his sensory needs for the first time ever.”

~ Lesli T., Parent

"I am very happy and inspired to be a part of this course with so many courageous and amazing parents and therapists. The Essential of SLOW has been hugely successful in just the day-and-a-half of practicing it. It is so simple, yet powerful. I felt such empowerment - both in the outcomes and in the respect was able to give my daughter. THANK YOU, Anat." 

~ Chloe M., Parent

"Just applying the nine essentials to myself I'm reclaiming my life and the life of my children and what their lives can be."
