Specialised Childhood Wellbeing Workshops

• The Art of Regulation – regulation of emotions and attention is at the core of successful learning – and getting on top of challenging behaviours. Take a practical journey through the development of self-regulation and how this can be managed – every child, every lesson, every day in the classroom. This workshop includes a comprehensive look at how gender, diagnosis, trauma, poverty and damage impact the regulatory pathway.
• Childhood trauma – developing understanding and practice of trauma-informed classrooms means understanding the developing brain and how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’S) impact moment to moment functioning. Practical learning that will, and does, change teaching practices.
• Childhood anxiety – a significant influencer of classroom and playground behaviour and success, learn about how anxiety presents and how this can be managed in every classroom. This includes looking at, and managing, parental anxiety which can often change the picture of a child’s behaviour.
• Working with challenging boys – connecting a boy to education means knowing how his brain is working and how to turn him on to learning. Understanding the brain of a boys is essential to getting 21st century education right and keeping our boys engaged and developing into outstanding young men. DOWNLOAD FLYER HERE
• Understanding and working within a Poverty Framework – understanding the mindset and helping children to code-switch improves attendance and enthusiasm for learning. Putting the poverty lens over a child’s functioning helps to improve engagement, empathy and learning processes.
• The development of childhood social competencies – every child is stacking skills and attributes that contribute to social competence – and it’s complex. Dealing with playground issues that steal valuable teaching time is exhausting – but this workshop has lots of answers. Fun, practical and practice changing. DOWNLOAD FLYER HERE
