ABOUT THE VIDEO TRAINING
What the program covers
Does your child feel anxious and overwhelmed when the school holidays disrupt their daily routine? Do they struggle to find fun activities, leading to boredom and restlessness?
This program is designed to support children in navigating changes during the holiday season through a balanced mix of sensory-rich water play, active movement, supportive routines and shared experiences. By combining these elements through play, children can enhance their emotional regulation while feeling secure and enjoying the magic of summer.
Excellent for children who may feel overwhelmed or anxious, the Summer Holidays Program offers therapeutic water play activities that help calm the nervous system and manage big emotions. Engaging in these sensory experiences allows children to develop essential coping skills, providing them with a fun and effective way to manage their feelings.
This program also emphasises active movement, with engaging options like giant sprinklers and water tools that encourage physical activity. These activities can help to not only build strength and coordination but also contribute to overall wellbeing. With its focus on establishing supportive routines, the program helps ease the transition from school to holiday time, offering structure and a sense of security during the break.
Ideal for fostering teamwork, the program encourages social interactions through collaborative play. Children will engage in group activities that promote communication and connection, helping them forge new friendships and strengthen existing ones. With options for solo, partner or group play, children can thrive and enjoy a summer filled with fun and shared experiences.
