Understanding Children’s Emotions – A Parent’s Toolkit
This workshop for parents will introduce or build on previous
knowledge of using Emotion Coaching techniques with children. The workshop
supports parents to consider how children’s brains develop at various stages
and explore the links between parenting styles and children’s ability to
self-regulate. Using cutting-edge theories about neuroscience, taught in a
simple and digestible way, we will focus on strategies to help children thrive
and feel confident.
The workshop aims to give practical advice and takeaway tools
which parents can immediately use at home to enhance relationships with
children of all ages. We will talk about ways to help children calm down in the
heat of the moment and how to create a peaceful family environment.
The workshop will be a mix of taught content, practical
activities and group discussion, designed to support parents to feel more able
to tune into their child’s emotional world and experiences. Parents who have
attended this workshop have reported a long-term positive change in their
child’s ability to express themselves and a permanent decrease in challenging
interactions with their children. Overall, there is a greater sense of
wellbeing for the whole family.

Feedback from past
participants….
“The Emotion
Coaching course by Shana was great. Her calm and non-judgmental nature,
expertise and resources were extremely useful in understanding children’s
development and perspectives better and with that supporting parents to make
more informed and enabling choices in their parenting approach. Highly
recommend this course to anyone who is a parent. Thank you Shana!”
“Really
helpful course, the small group worked really well and it was helpful to listen
to other people's examples and questions. Would definitely recommend this
course, I learnt lots of practical tips to apply everyday, thank you!”
“Learning
about a young child's brain was fascinating and made some of our sons
behaviours so much clearer. It will help to understand his emotional response
to things.”
“Really
great course. All parents should do it to get a greater understanding of what
is happening to their kids during an emotional time as it certainly makes you
think about how you deal with emotionally too.”
*Please note as well as the taught session I
will also make 2 online modules available which will need to be viewed prior to
the in-person session to compliment the learning on the day.

We’ll meet to gather round the fire, as those have done before us.
Desiree Diaz will lead us on a journey, through powerful Shamanic Drumming, to connect with the nature around us and embrace the fire with rituals of manifestation, planting the seeds of what we wish to manifest in spring.

🌱 Becoming part of a woman’s circle
🌱 Sharing food (this will be light refreshments, provided by Moon and will be created from seasonal and local produce)
🌱 Sipping a unique herbal infusion to aid our experience
