Parent and child co-regulation workshop

Knowing where to start when a meltdown happens, how to help or prevent one can feel like an impossible responsibility. You’re not alone, come along and we will talk about everything from the developing nervous system to the magical powers we possess to take control of our state.

Join us for a playful, interactive session designed to help children and their grown ups experience simple tools for feeling calm, connected and regulated together. Through story telling, exercise, peer massage, movement, and breathing exercises, and a guided relaxation. Will learn about the basics of the nervous system, in a fun age appropriate way. will also explore how words and self talk can communicate safety to the body and support emotional regulation. The session finishes with a joyful dance party giving children the chance to release some energy and celebrate what they’ve learned. Parents will receive a take home “stats for nerds” booklet summarising the session with additional information about nervous system development, co regulation, and practical strategies to use at home.
