Parenting doesn’t have to feel so hard
The Regulation Toolkit for Children
Explore your child's regulation, discover what helps and find new ways to support yourself and your family through the ups and downs of everyday life.
PRACTICAL SUPPORT FOR PARENTS AND CARERS
When family life feels hard, knowing what to do isn't always easy.
Big feelings, challenging behaviour, emotional outbursts, restlessness and difficult moments can leave you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or unsure how best to help your child.
You want to support them, but sometimes it's difficult to know what they need or how to respond.
The Regulation Toolkit for Children can help you find a different way forward.
Through a combination of understanding, practical ideas and guided experiences, you'll discover new ways to support your child's regulation, nurture your relationship and bring more moments of connection into everyday family life.
You'll also explore how to support yourself along the way, recognising that caring for your own wellbeing is an important part of caring for your child.
Your State Matters
How supporting yourself can help you support your child
Parenting can be demanding, and when life feels overwhelming, it's easy to put your own needs to one side. But your state matters too. Taking a moment to notice how you're feeling and finding small ways to support yourself can make a difference to how you connect with and support your child.
Discover what works for you and your child.
There isn't one approach that works for every child, or every situation. What helps one day might not be what your child needs the next.
Drawing on over 20 years of Special Yoga experience, this course brings together movement, breathing, sound, relaxation and connection to offer a range of accessible practices that you can explore, adapt and make your own.
It's not about following a rigid routine or getting everything right. It's about discovering what helps you and your child, and building a toolkit you can return to as your family grows and changes.
Course enrolment from £129. Optional six-month Live Parent Support available for an additional £50.
