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.
Areas of Focus:
- How the brain develops in young children
- Attachment and human instinct for connection
- How the body and brain manage stress
- Latest research on developing children’s emotional intelligence
- Parenting styles - survive or thrive?
- Why Emotion Coaching works
- Emotion Coaching techniques
- Tools to take away
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.”

![I’ve been made aware that this will be happening tomorrow morning (Saturday 20th August 2022) at Highgate Road Chapel, which is about 150 metres from Moon.
I fully advocate for the freedom to follow your beliefs, so I thought I’d take a look at The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children website for some more information on what they’re about…
So… they “lead the fight for unborn children and mothers… fight for a fairer world.” There’s lots of talk of fighting…
Here’s an interesting paragraph lifted directly from the website:
“Ideas about ‘choice’ and ‘autonomy’ are central to the abortion industry [industry!?]. In reality, however, many abortions take place because a woman feels she has no choice - either because of her circumstances, or because she has been forced by her partner, family, or even medical professionals. It is important to understand the reasons why women have abortions - including the horrific phenomenon of abortion coercion - in order that we can campaign for protections for vulnerable women and their children.”
You’re all intelligent people so I’ll let you make your own mind up about this statement.
If you would like to peacefully show your support for a woman’s right to body autonomy then a gathering will be taking place outside Highgate Road Chapel, 2 Chetwynd Road, London NW5 1BU at 9.45am to 10.15am tomorrow (Saturday 20th August 2022). I’m currently in Ireland, on a family holiday, otherwise I would be there, making my feelings on this matter clear.
