This 2 hour Workshop is an introduction to the 10 week 'Understanding your child from Toddler to Teen' group.

The workshop is designed to explore the importance of relationships from birth, through to primary school age, and how our interactions with our children shape their brain development.

We delve into what interactions look like, how they follow a dance of a serve and return like sequence, whilst understanding what takes place in the child's brain after an interaction.

The session is a one off 2 hour session.

This 2 hour workshop is an introduction to the 10 week 'Understanding your child from Toddler to Teen' group.

The workshop is designed to explore the changes that occur in the teenage brain and how we can support & guide them through this stage.

We delve into how the baby brain development has shaped the foundation blocks for their future brain development, and what changes the Teenage brain goes through, and why sometimes they make risky decisions when with their peers.

We explore how we can respond to our teenagers in ways which are both helpful for them and provides them with opportunities to learn to manage their big emotions, whilst strengthening the relationship we hold with them.

This group is for parents, grandparents and carers who want to know more about parenting and how children develop, as well as to understand children’s behaviour and how to respond in sensitive, tuned in ways to what is being communicated through their behaviours, helping children with their big emotions, whilst looking after our own.

The group aims to develop a framework of thinking about your relationship with your child which can be developed into a lifelong skill, which in turn, promotes effective behaviour for learning opportunities to teach the behaviours we would like, in supportive ways.

The group runs weekly for 10 weeks, with each session being 2 hours. Attendance to every session is required.

Across the ten sessions, we will explore topics like:

• How you and your child are feeling – how we can support emotions within our child as well as within ourselves when triggered by something our child does
• Tuning into your child’s developmental & emotional needs - understanding behaviours often linked to the new things they are learning about
• Responding to your child’s feelings – increasing confidence and self-esteem in understanding how we can re-phrase our communications to respond in helpful ways
• Different styles of parenting – recognising which parenting styles we may parent in throughout any given day and how we can become more consistent 
• Parent-child partnership – having fun together
• The rhythm of interaction and sleep
• Self-regulation and anger
• Communication and attunement – how to recover when things go wrong
• Celebrations of what we have achieved throughout the group on our parenting journey

All emotions are natural, normal and not always a matter of choice. We will support you in recognising your child’s behaviour as communication of an emotion they are experiencing and how we can Emotion Coach them through this.

Through attending this group, we will be exploring over the 4 weeks, how we can support the key elements involved in Emotion Coaching.

These are:

• Becoming aware of the child's emotions
• Recognising the emotion as an opportunity for connection and teaching
• Listening empathetically, validating the child's feelings
• Helping the child find words to label the emotion
• Setting limits and explore strategies to solve the problem at hand

We will be exploring how we can ensure we are considering our own emotions before responding to our child's, so we are calm and ready to Emotion Coach our child.

The sessions are run for 2 hours each over a 4 week period.
