Understanding Children’s Emotions – A Parent’s Toolkit
This workshop for parents will introduce or build on previous
knowledge of using Emotion Coaching techniques with children. The workshop
supports parents to consider how children’s brains develop at various stages
and explore the links between parenting styles and children’s ability to
self-regulate. Using cutting-edge theories about neuroscience, taught in a
simple and digestible way, we will focus on strategies to help children thrive
and feel confident.
The workshop aims to give practical advice and takeaway tools
which parents can immediately use at home to enhance relationships with
children of all ages. We will talk about ways to help children calm down in the
heat of the moment and how to create a peaceful family environment.
The workshop will be a mix of taught content, practical
activities and group discussion, designed to support parents to feel more able
to tune into their child’s emotional world and experiences. Parents who have
attended this workshop have reported a long-term positive change in their
child’s ability to express themselves and a permanent decrease in challenging
interactions with their children. Overall, there is a greater sense of
wellbeing for the whole family.

Feedback from past
participants….
“The Emotion
Coaching course by Shana was great. Her calm and non-judgmental nature,
expertise and resources were extremely useful in understanding children’s
development and perspectives better and with that supporting parents to make
more informed and enabling choices in their parenting approach. Highly
recommend this course to anyone who is a parent. Thank you Shana!”
“Really
helpful course, the small group worked really well and it was helpful to listen
to other people's examples and questions. Would definitely recommend this
course, I learnt lots of practical tips to apply everyday, thank you!”
“Learning
about a young child's brain was fascinating and made some of our sons
behaviours so much clearer. It will help to understand his emotional response
to things.”
“Really
great course. All parents should do it to get a greater understanding of what
is happening to their kids during an emotional time as it certainly makes you
think about how you deal with emotionally too.”
*Please note as well as the taught session I
will also make 2 online modules available which will need to be viewed prior to
the in-person session to compliment the learning on the day.

Despite the warmth, Autumn is now well and truly upon us: the farmers’ market is full of squashes and conkers shimmer underfoot.
With the season change comes an artwork change to adorn the wall of Moon’s studio space.
Local artist Jen Cable has continued her generosity and loaned us her work ‘Hidden Connections’ - a piece that highlights the interconnected world of trees.
Mature trees are able to pass nutrients to shaded or struggling saplings through their underground fungal networks. During drought, trees share water with their neighbours, helping younger trees thrive when resources are scarce.
Trees don’t simply look after themselves - they’re part of a bigger, connected community. We see this reflected our own community, the small acts that keep us together. A kind word, checking in on a neighbour, sharing what we have, lending a hand when someone is struggling.
When times are tough, these small acts of care can make all the difference. So, when you next pass a tree in your street, give it a drink. A little water from each of us can go a long way.

Anna Lawton has such a beautiful way with words we had to reshared her post about Moon's 5th Birthday Celebrations - WOW 5 YEARS!
(And also I'm blushing ☺️)

Celebrating 5 years of @moon_womens_health this evening with such joy and fulfilment.
One of the huge privileges of this amazing job is working with mothers and families, as well as working with so so so many incredible women in connected spaces.
Moon is a huge part of that for me.
Anna @hampstead_heath_herbalism has created something so special and so real at Moon, and I feel hugely thankful to have witnessed it and been part of it since the beginning.
She has held space and connection in such a unique way, and benefitted so many women and families across north London. She has enabled so many of us to explore ideas and businesses, giving space to fail safely, and succeed with pride.
I am so incredibly lucky to so often spend my time around glorious, enriching, inspiring women. I never take it for granted. Anna is one of them and tonight I celebrate her, the other amazing women in this space, and everything we continue to create.
On a week when hope has felt slightly further away, this was the grounding I needed.
After coming together with so many wonderful ones at the Homerton protest yesterday, I conclude this 48hrs with the strong reminder of how many good people there are doing good work amongst it all.

To those strong women, may we be them, may we support them, may we surround ourselves with them, may we raise them ✊💜💪3 days ago
