Overview
Children may encounter or experience a range of difficult topics, and often bring questions, worries or emotions into the classroom. This session explores the impact these experiences can have on children’s development and behaviour, helping you to better understand what you might see and why.
You’ll develop the confidence and skills to initiate and hold conversations around sensitive issues, creating a safe space for children to share their thoughts and feelings. The session also supports you to reflect on your own responses and triggers, with practical strategies to help you stay regulated and respond effectively.
The session contributes towards maintaining your Thrive Licensed Practitioner status.
