What to do when you are faced with behaviour that is challenging, and how to teach children strategies to understand and regulate their emotions

Are you finding a child's behaviour difficult to manage? Are you looking for ways to help them regulate their emotions?

Learn ways to try to understand why a child is behaving in a particular way and how to respond in a way that will be helpful. Often when your child experiences difficulties with behaviour and emotional regulation, it can be easy to become stressed and overwhelmed. You may see your child become really frustrated or upset and this can lead to challenging behaviour such as hitting, kicking or dropping to the floor. This is very distressing for your child, as well as for yourself.

Your child may be struggling with understanding their feelings and how to communicate this, which is why it’s so important that you try to understand reasons behind the behaviour and how to help them regulate their emotions. In this short course, Steph Reed will teach you clear, proactive strategies and skills that will help your child’s behaviour and support their emotional regulation development.
