About
After years of study, most allied health professionals hit the workforce and realise something big was missing. No one really taught us how to talk about emotions with kids. If you’ve ever felt unsure how to support emotional development in a way that’s actually helpful, you’re not alone. I felt the same just months into my career. For something so central to child development, emotions often get pushed to the sidelines in formal training. That’s why I created the Understanding Emotions Workshop. This is a practical, clinician-focused workshop designed to help you feel more confident working with children’s emotions — and more equipped to support the families you work with too. Here’s what we cover: - The stages of emotional development and how they show up in daily life - Why behaviour is often just a clue to the underlying emotion - The building blocks of emotional intelligence in kids - Why early support for emotional development makes a lasting difference - Common misdiagnoses and emotional regulation challenges - What emotional bids look like and how to respond - How to engage parents as allies in emotional development - Gentle strategies for redirecting unhelpful beliefs or responses from caregivers - Hands-on exercises and tools you can use straight away in session What’s included: - A pre-recorded video workshop - An interactive workbook to guide your learning If you’re ready to shift the way you approach emotional development, this workshop will give you the clarity and strategies to make emotions the centre of your work, not an afterthought.
