Calling all parents! We have an incredible opportunity to hear from Dr Justin Coulson, in two parenting events not to be missed!

Little People, Big Feelings! 9:00 - 10:30 AM
What are we supposed to do when our child is having a tantrum? Losing the plot?
Going off their rocker?
Most of our responses – no matter how well-intended – can make things worse. We
tell them to stop it, calm down, cut it out… and they don’t! They get worse! We send
them to their room, take the iPad… It all backfires. Dealing with little people’s big
emotions (and challenging behaviours) in the middle of an outburst is tough!
Little People, Big Feelings is Dr Justin Coulson’s powerful guide to teaching children to
understand and regulate their emotional world. Once they develop competence with
this critical life skill, emotionally intelligent children will feel more confident and resilient, perform
better at school, have healthier relationships with others, and even be physically
healthier.
With lots of practical advice and time for questions, this is a topic not to miss!
