Growing Minds: Understanding and Supporting Children's Emotion Regulation

Join us for Growing Minds: Supporting Children Through Big Emotions!

Many tricky behaviours are actually signs that a child is overwhelmed and struggling to cope with big emotions. This practical workshop will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface - and how to respond in a way that supports your child’s emotional development.

We'll cover:

• Why we experience emotions and what it means to be emotionally regulated and dysregulated.
• What’s happening in the brain during emotional outbursts
• How to respond effectively using the Regulate, Relate, Reason approach
• How to teach children to recognise, express and manage their emotions.
• Tools such as the Zones of Regulation, emotion coaching strategies and simple techniques you can use at home to build emotional understanding and resilience.

Whether your child shows anger, anxiety, meltdowns or shutdowns, this workshop will help you feel more confident in responding to the feelings behind the behaviour.

Ideal for parents of primary-aged children, especially those looking for calm, connected, evidence-based ways to support emotional wellbeing at home.
