Children who struggle with issues related to anxiety, defiance, tantrums, meltdowns, and overall emotion dysregulation are far more common than most parents think.

A child’s emotions can be draining for everyone involved. This course aims to empower parents and caregivers to proactively and lovingly help children during these challenging moments.

Emotional regulation is a key component that supports our overall health and well-being. As our capacity to regulate our emotions increases, so does our ability to engage positively with all parts of our world. This had the impact of enhancing our ability to communicate our needs, limits, and boundaries in a clear and effective way. Strengthening a child’s emotional vocabulary and supporting them to develop emotional regulation skills is an important part of ensuring that our children are growing with the skills and knowledge they will need for healthy relationships at all stages of life.

This workshop aims to offer practical information to caregivers and professionals about the importance of self-regulation in both ourselves and the children we are supporting, as well as focusing on concrete strategies to enhance children’s development of self-regulation skills.
