Some days you have to deal with a child or their parent who lashes out. Often you can see it brewing and you want to step in early. You also notice it’s hard on you. Maybe your stomach begins to churn or your neck or jaw tightens. Your workplace has a specific protocol. You know what you’re supposed to do and telling yourself to breathe before stepping in just isn’t enough to ease the tension inside. Automatic physical reactions need physical strategies. This experiential workshop draws on the concepts of interactive neurobiology and self-regulation to teach you practical techniques to use in these difficult moments. Objectives: Practice picking up earlier signs that a child is about to erupt. Learn physical strategies you can use right in the moment to ease the tension you feel. Explore and practice methods to support yourself so you can act more calmly and effectively.
