Developing emotional regulation skills in children and adolescents with anxious, oppositional and aggressive behaviours

About this workshop

Research has shown that children with emotional regulation skills do better in school, form stronger relationships, have fewer behavioural problems and generally lead happier, healthier and less stressful lives.

Not all children learn these skills well while growing up and need explicit teaching to develop emotional regulation skills. Without adequate guidance, children often adopt ineffective ways of dealing with stressful or difficult situations, such as avoidance or defensive behaviour.

Developing Emotional Regulation Skills in Children and Adolescents with Anxious, Oppositional and Aggressive Behaviours is an interactive workshop that will provide you with strategies for guiding children to develop emotional regulation skills.

In this practical and interactive workshop, you’ll learn:

• The definition and characteristics of emotional regulation
• An understanding of anxious, oppositional and aggressive behaviour
• Strategies for effectively responding to anxious, oppositional and aggressive behaviour
• Strategies for helping children develop emotional regulation skills at home, childcare, school, and in the community

Come along to this practical and interactive workshop that provides an expert blend of information, skills and strategies that will educate, empower and enable you to be the CHANGE in the lives of the people you support.
