Have you ever had a day when your brain felt like it was bouncing everywhere at once?
Connor sure has.
When Connor forgets to take his medicine, his thoughts begin racing, his body can't sit still, and even the simplest tasks become giant adventures. Before long, his world feels completely COCOBANANAS!
Through humor, heart, and colorful imagination, children will follow Connor as he learns that having a busy brain doesn't make him bad or broken but it simply means he needs the right tools, support, and understanding to help him thrive.
COCOBANANAS! is a fun and encouraging story that helps children understand:
• Why some brains move faster than others The importance of routines and healthy habits
• How medicine and support can help
• That every child is wonderfully unique
Perfect for children, parents, teachers, counselors, and caregivers, this delightful story opens the door to important conversations about attention, self-control, and self-acceptance. Because every child deserves to know that even when life feels a little COCOBANANAS, they are loved, capable, and never alone.
Helping children understand their brains, their feelings, and their incredible potential.
Dr. Vince Callahan is a seasoned counselor, educator, and researcher with nearly four decades of
experience in understanding and addressing emotional trauma and its impact on individual and
family well-being. He began his professional journey after earning his master’s degree from
Regent University in 1986, working extensively in in-patient psychiatric hospitals and private
practice settings. His early work focused on providing critical mental health care for both children and adults.
Over the next decade, Dr. Callahan expanded his impact by developing and presenting a two-day
family conference series that reached audiences across the United States and in seven foreign
countries. He also engaged in in-home counseling, authored several books, and made numerous
media appearances to advocate for family healing and mental wellness.
In 2007, Dr. Callahan founded a behavioral health company dedicated to serving severely
mentally ill adults through intensive community-based treatment services. At the same time, he
began his doctoral work at Regent University, earning his Doctor of Education with a focus on
the neurological impact of emotional trauma on academic performance. Over the past twelve
years, his research has explored the intersection of early life stress, brain development, and
learning. One of his key findings emphasizes the importance of creating relational learning
environments to support children affected by trauma.
Dr. Callahan brings a faith-based perspective to his counseling, integrating Christian principles
with evidence-based psychological practices. His extensive clinical experience—documenting
over 30,000 hours of individual and family counseling—reflects his deep commitment to helping
others find healing, hope, and personal growth.
Currently, Dr. Callahan serves as an adjunct professor, business consultant, professional
development trainer, workshop presenter, and author. He is also the founder and owner of the
Florida Institute for Neural Discovery, where he continues his mission of transforming lives
through neuroscience-informed care and education.
