Supporting Big Emotions
Webinar (3 hours)
Helping children feel safe, understood, and supported through life’s big feelings.
This practical and engaging workshop is designed for educators wanting to better understand children’s emotional regulation, behaviour, and responses to change. Using the child-friendly “Yellow Brick Road” framework, educators will explore how to support children through overwhelm, anxiety, transitions, and everyday emotional challenges in a calm, connected, and developmentally supportive way.
Grounded in attachment-informed and neurobiological approaches, the workshop provides practical strategies that can be applied immediately within early learning and primary school environments.
Participants will gain greater confidence in:
Understanding emotional regulation and dysregulation
Responding to children’s big emotions with connection and consistency
Supporting resilience and emotional awareness
Creating emotionally supportive classroom environments
Helping children navigate transitions and change
Suitable for primary school teachers, wellbeing staff, and education professionals working closely with children and families.
