When Big Feelings Take Over: Understanding & Supporting Our Tamariki

When Big Feelings Take Over: Understanding & Supporting Our Tamariki

Brought to you by Waitakere Primary PTA

Parenting neurodivergent children can sometimes feel isolating, so this is a chance to connect with other parents, share experiences and take away some practical ideas to support our tamariki at home and at school.

Join us for an evening with Emma Cutts, a specialist educator with 25 years of experience and a mum to two neurodivergent boys.

Emma will share her knowledge and experience around how our brains work, the power of co-regulation and how connection can support wellbeing and behaviour in a neuroaffirming way.

We’ll explore:

* Understanding how our children’s brains work

* The power of co-regulation

* Supporting behaviour through connection

* Helping our tamariki become more regulated

* Supporting ourselves as parents too

Doors open: 6:30pm for refreshments

Talk starts: 7:00pm

Talk duration: 1 hour

Free event, koha welcome!

This is a free community event, with the option to add a koha when booking your ticket if you’d like to contribute towards the evening. There is absolutely no pressure to do so.

Baking, snacks and beverages will also be available to purchase on the night, with payment available separately.

We’d love to see you there for a relaxed evening of connection, learning and support with our school community.
