Understanding Big Feelings in Young Children
Why children become emotionally overwhelmed, what their behaviour communicates, and responding with calm, connection and consistency.
Each one-hour workshop comes with a take-home booklet of ideas and resources. Sessions can also be bundled into half-day practical workshops, staff development sessions, parent evenings or multi-part learning programmes.

Warm, practical support for the everyday moments — big feelings, boundaries, bedtime and connection.
