Parent Series 2024 - Vanessa Kay

In partnership with Parenting Connection WA and Ngala, St Stephen's School is proud to host Vanessa Kay as she presents "Understanding behaviour through a self-regulation lens" as our first session in the Parent Series, 2024. 

Vanessa Kay is a self-regulation consultant with a diverse background that includes teaching, behaviour intervention and counselling. Vanessa is the founder of InnerWise Education and brings a unique blend of personal insight, professional expertise and a genuine passion to share this valuable knowledge. 

This free presentation provides a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between parenting and applied neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on the crucial skill of self-regulation and understanding the impact of stress on the brain and body. By the end of the presentation, parents will walk away with a deeper understanding of how stress impacts behaviour and the long-term benefits of self-regulation skill development over traditional behavioural methods.

This session is suitable for parents and caregivers of all school-aged children.
