Another enlightening workshop this evening exploring the topic of Dysregulation………..
It was wonderful to welcome both familiar and new faces as we spent time learning together, sharing experiences, and reflecting on what may lie beneath a child’s behaviour.
Behaviour is communication. When we begin to look beyond what we see on the surface, we start to understand the emotions, experiences, and unmet needs that may be driving it.
This evening we discussed some of the causes of dysregulation, explored what can sit beneath behaviour, and shared practical coping and regulation strategies that can support children, young people, and the adults around them.
One of the resources I use regularly in the therapy room is the Emotion Wheel. It’s such a powerful visual reminder that children often experience a huge range of emotions but simply don’t yet have the words, confidence, or sense of safety to express them. Helping children name their feelings is often the first step towards helping them regulate them.
At Unique Hope, we believe that the more we educate ourselves, the more compassion we can bring to our homes, classrooms, and communities. Every conversation matters, and every child deserves to be understood, not just managed.
If you’d like to continue these conversations and connect with like-minded parents, carers and professionals, we’d love to see you at our Unique Hope Coffee Morning this Sunday at 10:30am at FIKA, Red Lion Street, Boston. This month’s guest speaker is the Headteacher of Conquest, a new independent special school, who will be sharing their vision and answering your questions.
Together, we learn. Together, we grow. Together, we create hope. 💜💛
