What is the overall purpose of using movement and dance with differently wired kids?
It's just this extra tool. So if this way of thinking could infiltrate all different types of fields in terms of learning, in terms of communicating, in terms of health, then we're we're looking at the whole child because it's not just this top-down approach and thinking about what's the brain doing, but also like what is happening in our body, how are we perceiving our environment in terms of our sensory system, how are we moving through the world, and how our movement even our postures affect our relationships.
Welcome to the Tilt Parenting Podcast, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and today's guest is a licensed clinical psychologist and board-certified dance movement therapist, Dr. Lori Baldino. Dr. Bodino provides therapeutic support to assist parents in understanding, handling, and accepting the challenges of parenting and the complexities of a developing child. She specializes in supporting children identified with special needs, including those with learning disabilities, early life traumas, academic, behavior, or emotional challenges, children on the autism spectrum, and those with chronic acute illness.
Yeah. In our conversation, we talk about the mind-body connection and how teaching differently wired kids to tap into this relationship and learn how to understand their body's unique language can be a valuable tool as they learn to regulate their emotions, better understand social communication, and more. I hope you enjoy our conversation. And before I get to the episode, I wanted to give a quick shout out to Stephanie Brooks, a new supporter of the podcast.

Thank you so much for considering supporting the show, and now here is my conversation with Dr. Bodino. Hi, Doctor Badina. Welcome to the podcast. Hi, thanks for having me. Yeah, I'm really excited to have this conversation and talk about movement and our differently wired kids. It's a kind of a new conversation to be bringing to the podcast and I think it's gonna be really valuable for our listeners. And before we get into the work that you do specifically and how this is gonna really help the parents in our community, I'd love to hear more about your story.
I always like to hear from my guests about their personal why and what drew them to the work that they do. So could you tell us a little bit about what you do and who you are? Yes, I'm a licensed
clinical psychologist and a board certified dance movement therapist and I'm also a mom. I have a integrative approach to health in that I support all children from ages zero to eighteen. Whether it's sensory um differences, neuro differences, children on the spectrum. I also work with children with anxiety and also just those those typical parenting challenges. But not just by talking and hearing concepts, but actually um supporting The idea of embodying practices and connection. Um, to do this, um, it just always seemed to make sense to me that this idea that illness and challenges and experiences happen in the body. So to me, it's like, what better way than to look at the body as a means of of helping people to connect and um to be better?
And y can you tell us about your personal why for
doing this work? So my personal why, when I think about um I was that child that Tap danced my book reports and played basketball at a learned account and just found creative ways to find meaning in learning. And so to me, using the body always just makes sense to me.
