Description

When it comes to strong emotions, what we see is rarely what is actually going on with a child. Powerful emotions invite us to check assumptions at the door and go deeper into what's really causing the behavior. These micro-opportunities for long-term growth can have an indelibly positive impact on children. This workshop offers practical solutions and strategies to navigate the landscape of strong emotions - how they can present in unusual ways, and how we can support youth when they're in the thick of what they're feeling.

Discover:

  • the underlying reasons for displayed behavior
  • how emotions present in different and sometimes surprising ways
  • targeted strategies to embrace emotional expression
