You’re Invited: An Evening with Karen Young - Supporting Emotional Regulation in Young People

Date: 18 June 2025
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: SSP School Hall

Join us for an engaging and insightful evening with Karen Young, renowned speaker and founder of Hey Sigmund, as she explores how we can better support children in developing emotional regulation—a key foundation for lifelong wellbeing and success.

Emotional regulation takes time to develop, and in the meantime, big feelings often lead to big behaviours. This session will help parents and educators understand the “what, why, and how” of emotions, and how to respond effectively and compassionately.

Topics include:

Where big feelings come from and their important role
How to support children through strong emotions and behaviour
Practical tools to help children understand and manage their feelings
Why traditional discipline often falls short—and what to do instead
Repairing relationships after emotional conflict
The neuroscience of co-regulation and how to model it
How to set healthy, compassionate boundaries
Strategies for managing particularly challenging behaviour

This is a valuable opportunity for anyone supporting young people to gain practical strategies and deeper understanding.

We hope to see you there!
