WHO THE PROGRAM IS FOR
Does this sound familiar?
"My child is often overwhelmed, angered or stressed and I’d love to explore different ways to help them to feel regulated."
"As a parent, I can often recognise potential triggers for my child, but I’m not sure how to teach them to sense them too."
"I have trouble supporting my child’s sensory and emotional regulation needs when they’re not at home, I’d love them to access strategies they can take with them."
If these challenges sound familiar, you are not alone. It’s exactly why we’ve designed this program.
ABOUT THE VIDEO TRAINING
What the program covers
Does your child struggle to identify their feelings, experience frequent meltdowns, or have difficulty communicating their emotions? This program is designed to help children recognise and articulate their emotions effectively, addressing common challenges in emotional regulation. Through a variety of engaging, play-based activities, it promotes emotional awareness and enhances communication skills, enabling children to better express what they’re feeling.
Perfect for children who face difficulties in emotional expression as well as those who already recognise their emotions, the program aims to broadens their emotional vocabulary and deepen their understanding. It guides children in learning about different feelings and the importance of acknowledging them, providing a safe space for exploration and self-reflection.
The program includes a comprehensive toolbox of resources aligned with the online modules, inviting children to immerse themselves in interactive experiences. With an emphasis on co-regulation, it equips parents and caregivers with practical strategies to reinforce emotional development at home. This holistic approach encourages families to engage in meaningful conversations about feelings, making emotional learning a shared journey.
As children participate in the program, they build confidence in navigating their emotional landscape, laying the groundwork for healthier relationships and improved emotional wellbeing. Together, we can cultivate an environment where emotions are acknowledged, understood, and expressed freely, empowering children to thrive emotionally.
