Professional Development with Robyn Papworth

When Regulation Fails, Look to the Foundations

We often try to fix behaviour through talking, but if a child's nervous system is unintegrated, they cannot hear you. This series shows you how to build the biological readiness children need for learning and social play.

The ARC Neurodevelopmental Roadmap

Development happens in a specific sequence. You cannot have connection without regulation, and you cannot have regulation without a stable body.

A

Phase 1: Action

Biological Stability & Motor Readiness

We start by solving the wiggles at the source. This workshop focuses on primitive reflexes, core strength, and the physical stability children require to sit, listen, and stay present on the mat.

  • Integrating postural reflexes
  • Building the physical endurance for learning
  • Identifying motor gaps in children who struggle to focus

Phase 2: Rhythm

Neurological Regulation & Nervous System Calm

Once the body is stable, we focus on the brainstem. We use rhythmic movement to match a child's energy and lead them back to a state of calm, making transitions easier and reducing meltdowns.

  • Using the isoprinciple for classroom management
  • Sensory regulation through beat and movement
  • Calming an overstimulated classroom in minutes

Phase 3: Connection

Social Engagement & Mindful Presence

With a stable body and a regulated mind, the child is finally ready for social play. We focus on joint attention, shared presence, and the social motor skills required for screen free connection.

  • Fostering joint attention in a digital world
  • Building social motor skills for cooperative play
  • Reconnecting the mind and body for learning success
