What You’ll Learn:

  • The foundations and benefits of a coregulation approach versus traditional behaviour management
  • Understanding the roots of emotional regulation challenges, including trauma, attachment and neurodevelopmental issues.
  • How to use the Circle of Security model to inform your therapeutic recommendations, enabling caregivers to respond effectively to their child’s emotional needs, fostering secure attachment and co-regulation.
  • How to apply the Hand Model of the Brain to explain emotional regulation to caregivers, using this simple tool to illustrate brain reactions to stress and how coregulation helps calm the child’s brain and engage logical thinking.
  • Practical strategies for recognising a child’s arousal levels and supporting emotional regulation in real-time.
  • Coregulation techniques that can be applied both at home and in school.
  • When and how to start working on self-regulation in a developmentally appropriate way.

What Are Others Saying?

"I found the workshop informative and helpful. I will certainly be doing more research on the coregulation approach and implementing some of this new knowledge into my own practice. A key takeaway was that it is most important to address how to parent responds to the situation and helps the child co-regulate, and that it should not depend solely on the child to regulate themselves"

Emma D, Occupational Therapist

"I found the workshop helpful overall. It helped me change my perspective on how to approach this topic as a whole - to be more family centered, and more of a collaborative problem solver, rather than offering sessions and activity after activity to try and build the child's capacity in emotional regulation"

Ben F, Occupational Therapist
