Does this sound familiar?
"I'm concerned about my child's ability to regulate emotions and want support in managing their emotional and physical responses."
"My child experiences anxiety and sensory challenges, and I'm looking for ways to help them recognise and respond to their bodyâs signals."
If these challenges sound familiar, you are not alone, â itâs exactly why weâve designed this program.
The program can help lay the foundational motor skills required to support a good pencil grip in preparation for handwriting development.
What the program covers
The Emotions Part 2: Discovering our Body's Clues Program empowers children to begin to understand the vital connection between their body and emotions. By recognising physical sensations, such as a racing heart, tight shoulders, or a growling stomach, children can learn to decode how their body communicates feelings like excitement, stress or hunger. This foundational awareness helps children better understand their emotional needs and take steps to address them.
The program incorporates fun, hands-on activities that introduce key body parts like the heart, lungs, and stomach, explaining how these parts contribute to physical and emotional wellbeing. By engaging with tools such as the Body Clues Card Set or Slimy Surgeons Kit, children explore their bodyâs signals in a playful, accessible way, enhancing their ability to interpret and respond to these clues with growing independence and confidence.
In addition, parents are equipped with practical resources to deepen their understanding of interoception and support their childâs journey. These tools foster meaningful conversations about body awareness, emotions, and self-care, strengthening emotional connections within the family. The program offers an interactive and supportive approach to developing body awareness, nurturing emotional growth, and empowering children to better navigate their feelings and needs.
This program is part of our series of emotions programs, with Emotions Part 2: Discovering our Bodyâs Clues emphasising body awareness and understanding. We would recommend completing Emotions Part 1: Naming our Feelings Program which focuses on the foundations of identifying, naming and becoming comfortable and familiar with talking about feelings.
