Supporting Children with Challenging Behaviours

Being able to understand what a child’s behaviour is communicating, and how we communicate in those times, is a wonderful skill to have. In this workshop we will explore how we can communicate to create balance and harmony through mindful, respectful communication skills.

We will cover what challenging behaviours might be communicating, what to expect at different ages and stages from a neuroscience perspective, the importance of role modelling positive communication techniques, and some communication tools and strategies to support adults to bring calm to themselves and to the situation.

There will be a mix of conversation, hands on learning and listening, using small group work, scenarios and your own real-world situations that we can work through.

Using these strategies will not only help you during these tricky times but it will also support your children’s emotional resilience giving them skills for life in regulating their emotions and overcoming frustrations and challenges in respectful ways.

Celia will adapt this workshop to suit the audience whether made up of parents, teachers, educators or a mix.
