Helping Impulsive Kids Make Better Decisions
Chuck Hagele
Impulsive behavior can feel constant, confusing, and overwhelming - especially when consequences don’t seem to change anything. But for many children from hard places, impulsivity isn’t defiance. It’s rooted in trauma, survival responses, and differences in brain development.
In this session, Chuck Hagele will unpack how trauma impacts the developing brain and why impulsivity shows up the way it does. Through the lens of Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI), he’ll offer practical, connection-based tools that help move kids from reaction to regulation - and from chaos to growth.
Because when caregivers understand the “why” behind impulsive behavior and respond with structure, nurture, and connection, kids begin to build the skills they’ve been missing — and better decisions start to follow.
You’ll walk away with:
• A deeper understanding of how trauma impacts impulse control and decision-making
• Insight into what’s happening in the brain during dysregulation
• Practical TBRI-based strategies to increase regulation and build skills
• Tools to create structure and felt safety without escalating power struggles
• Greater confidence in your ability to guide your child toward wiser, healthier choices

In Utero Exposure 101: Brain, Behavior & Hope
Cindy Lee
Many of our children’s stories began before they ever took their first breath. In utero substance exposure can significantly impact brain development — shaping regulation, impulse control, learning, and behavior in ways that are often misunderstood.
In this session, Cindy Lee will walk through the foundational effects of prenatal substance exposure on the developing brain and what that means for everyday life at home. With compassion and clarity, she’ll help you understand the “why” behind the behaviors — so you can move from confusion and frustration to confidence and hope.
Because when caregivers understand what’s happening beneath the surface, they can respond with steadiness instead of shame — and that changes everything.
