Supporting Kids with Anger and Aggression
Who should attend and what will you learn?
Who Should attend?
This workshop is for parents, caregivers, and anyone who works closely with children.
What will you learn?
In this workshop we will take a deep dive into the “why” behind your child’s challenging behaviour. We will learn about the brain and the nervous system and the role these systems play in our behaviour. In addition, we will learn about the cycle of aggression, how to recognize big emotions before they happen, and strategies to help support not only the child’s nervous system but yours as well.
Details
In this workshop, we will provide an understanding of Anger and Aggression from a neurobiological and attachment perspective. We will aim to dismantle the belief that anger and aggression are bad behaviours that need to be corrected and instead view them as normal biological responses. In addition, we will explore opportunities for helping to support children through these emotions that will also promote confidence with interventions and relationship repair strategies.
