Are you finding a child's behaviour difficult to manage?
Are you looking for ways to support their emotional understanding?
Learn this step-by-step process to understand a child's behaviour and how to teach them to identify and regulate their emotions.
Often when your child experiences difficulties with behaviour and emotional regulation, it can be easy to become stressed and overwhelmed.
You may see your child become really frustrated or upset and this can lead to challenging behaviour such as hitting, kicking or dropping to the floor.
This is very distressing for your child, as well as for yourself.
Your child may be struggling with responding to their feelings and how to communicate this, which is why it’s so important that you understand the reason behind the behaviour and how to help them regulate their emotions.
In this short course, I will teach you clear, proactive strategies and skills that will help your child's behaviour and support their emotional regulation development.
