Children often express their feelings and struggle through their behaviour. For parents and educators, this can be confusing and challenging to respond to. When we begin to understand what lies beneath these behaviours, our responses can shift in meaningful ways.
Join us for a complimentary 60-minute Zoom webinar where you will gain a practical and experiential introduction to how play-based approaches can support children’s emotional wellbeing and behaviour.
Helping Children with Behavioural Challenges: A Practical Introduction to Play Therapy
In this 60-minute session, you will gain practical insights into how play-based approaches, drawn from play therapy principles, can support children in expressing emotions, managing behaviour, and communicating more effectively in everyday situations.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Understand what children’s behaviour may be communicating
- Experience how children may feel when overwhelmed
- Recognise why children struggle with behaviour
- Learn simple ways to respond (rather than react)
- Be introduced to play-based approaches that support emotional regulation
