Coaching our Kids Through Big Feelings

Elen Nathan, occupational therapist and sensory integration practitioner will unpack child social-emotional development, including the role our senses play in how we feel safe and engage with the world around us. Explore the latest neuroscience around brain development, and the main reasons for big behaviours in children aged 0-18. Explore ways to coach through big moments like after school meltdowns, & getting children off screens happily and back connected to family. Explore topics like how to effectively support kids with ADHD, autism and neurodiversity, through understanding the common theme across all conditions.
