The Toddler Toolkit (Online)

Calling all toddler parents! Join Penny Jones, Harry Edwards and Isaac Gee for fun, down-to-earth journey into the art and science of co-regulation with your toddler.

Life with a toddler is beautiful, fun, messy, and sometimes challenging (we’re toddler parents ourselves – we get it!). And they still need us so very much.

So how can we best support them through this huge period of development and blooming?

A bit of science (plus music) can help!

Join us for a fun, music-filled dive into the wonderful world of toddlers’ brains – and how to use that knowledge to work with them to regulate, re-set and recharge.

We’ll use storytelling, music, no fancy words, and there’ll be plenty of practical tools to take away.

From Isaac and Harry, there will be some music therapy tips, and from Penny, there will be body-based nervous system tools. We’ll try these out in the session, so you can experience them for yourselves.

We’ll cover:

·       Toddler brain development ‘101’ (and why it matters)

·       Why big emotions are an inevitable part of toddler life

·       The difference between tantrums and meltdowns

·       The art and science of co-regulation

·       How music therapy and body-based tools can support our toddlers to re-set, regulate and recharge

·       Self-care strategies for parents

We hope you’ll join us on this adventure into our toddlers' brains, and come away with some tips, tricks and new perspectives.
