Is your child struggling with anxiety, defiance, tantrums, meltdowns, and overall emotional dysregulation? Does the world feel overwhelming right now? Too many changes, too quickly? Struggling to find the right words or the tools to help your child navigate big feelings?

This course aims to provide information for caregivers and professionals about the importance of self-regulation in both ourselves and the children we are supporting, as well as to focus on strategies that we can use with the children we are supporting to enhance their development of self-regulation skills. The workshop also includes a section with tools to empower you to help your child navigate the current uncertainty and fear spreading across the globe.
