Parent Workshop
Topics
Children today are presenting with a lot more emotional, social and cognitive challenges. Social and emotional intelligence underpins the body’s ability to self-regulate, to become calm and to manage and express emotions.
This workshop will have an element of practical activity within it and will develop the following outcomes:
• You will understand the complexity of sensory development and how the sensory system controls all aspects of our function including emotional, social, and motor
• You will understand connection and attachment and the implication of retained early reflexes and how traumatised children cannot regulate their fear response
• You will fully appreciate the implications of developmental trauma: – sensory development, dissociation, attachment development, emotional regulation, self-esteem, lack of identity and cognitive development
• You will understand and identify the behaviour that indicates sensory over responsiveness and sensory under responsiveness within the home
• You will gain insight of triggers for engaging in fight/flight or dysregulation
• We will understand how to support regulation
• You will discover breathing techniques and using YOGA to enable a child to coregulate, feel safe and grounded
