Hey ,

Whoop—Book Club is back tomorrow, and I can’t wait to see you!

First, quick reminders:

• Haven’t saved your spot for Susan Hastings’ Wise Table with Jean-Pierre Maes? Don’t miss out: https://bookme.name/wiredOnDevelopment
• Keen for Susan's wisdom on a specific kid? Submit your Laser Coaching EOI: https://bit.ly/TWClaser
• Need Book Club times, or still need the free book? https://bookme.name/wiredOnDevelopment: https://bookme.name/wiredOnDevelopment

💡 bonus tech hint - if you don't have time to sit and read, try a text to speech app! Speechify is AMAZING (Gwyneth Paltrow's my fave) and NaturalReaders comes in as a slightly cheaper close second. (both are free to trial)

Last Week’s Book Club: Main Takeaways

Our first session buzzed with warmth, honesty, and sparkling ideas. Here’s just a smidge of what we got into:

• Movement is ancient and wired-in: Nearly every movement—walking, lifting, even facial expressions—builds atop deep-seated brain circuits (central pattern generators and microcircuits). We don’t create skills from scratch; we draw on these evolutionary blueprints, shaping and adapting them over time.

• Therapy is orchestration: It’s about the interplay between the “big boss” forebrain and the reliable workers further down. That gives us endless ways to help—blend strategies, revisit foundations, and keep searching for the best fit for each child.

• Debating the ‘conductor’ analogy: We got lively over who’s really in the driver’s seat—forebrain or basal ganglia? The big takeaway: movement is a team effort, and real control is all about dynamic relationships

Expectations for Chapter 2:

Tomorrow we’ll dive even deeper! Chapter 2 gets right into the “how” of movement, breaking down:

• The microcircuits (central pattern generators, or CPGs) that generate rhythmic actions like walking, breathing, chewing, and more.
• How these rhythms are created, adapted, and made resilient (and why biological “messiness” is a feature, not a flaw).
• The command centers—brainstem and beyond—that call on these networks and fine-tune them for context or emotion.
• The everyday clinical gold: Why using rhythm, sensory input, and modular movement training matters, and how these circuits can surprise you with resilience and adaptability—especially in therapy!

The vibe for tomorrow:

Come as you are—fired-up, burnt out, or quietly curious. Jump into thoughtful check-ins, choose a favorite question, and break out with a small group for real talk about clinical practice and fresh neuroscience. Bring your stories, questions, and “I wonder if…” tangents. And if all you managed was to read the email? You absolutely still belong.

Quick reminder:

RSVP and grab the link to the (legal) free online book >> https://bookme.name/wiredOnDevelopment

(Session 1 and 2 are the same, just at different times for different time zones)

See you and your “spark” tomorrow!

Mindy

P.S. Just to remind you your voice matters. Whether your week was smooth sailing or a total scramble, we'd all love to see you at the book club - come help build our collective community one question, one spark of curiosity at a time.
