(Timaru) Mighty Willows: Family and Educators Session
Event description
Mighty Willows aims to help parents / caregivers / teachers to develop an understanding of children's responses (also known as behaviour, but we don't focus on that!) from the inside out - we discuss the nervous system and how this plays a role in responses, and explore ways to better understand and respond to underlying needs.
This workshop is a condensed version of the Knowing Your Child module. We will explore the root causes of behaviours and get curious about what uses up the child's (or the adult's!) energy (or spoons) during the day. We will discuss how to co-regulate with children.
You will leave the workshop with 2 documents to begin making changes at home or school:
- "Spoons Profile" outlining what is using your child's energy each day
- "Spoon Savers" document outlining ideas to help regulate your child
