The Language of Emotions: How do I talk to my child about their thoughts and feelings?

❇️ Are you a parent or carer who has an emotionally sensitive primary-school aged child?

❇️ Are you noticing more emotional-fuelled thoughts, feelings and behaviours and not knowing quite how to deal with them?

❇️ Do you find yourself asking questions about how they are feeling but doubting whether you're saying the right things or worried you are making it worse in some way?

❇️ Do you feel a bit out of your depth and uncomfortable having conversations about their feelings?

❇️ Do you worry that your child is OK?

You're not on your own!

As each year passes, I learn and practise more self-awareness, mindfulness, emotional regulation and how to manage our internal world of thoughts and feelings.

Understanding how your child is feeling and why they are behaving in a certain way can be very tricky to understand and explain. For them and for you. By learning about the brain and body, we can begin to 'see' our reactions so we can choose for ourselves how to respond in a connected and considered way.

This workshop may help you feel more confident at noticing how you are asking your children about their emotional experiences and how you can lead and demonstrate simple, practical and connected communication with just a few tweaks to your existing methods.
