Workshop Content

• Emotional regulation is the ability to manage emotions and behaviour in line with the demands of the situation, to calm yourself down when you get upset and to match your reaction to the size of a problem.
• Emotional regulation can be challenging for anyone in our busy, fast paced, high tech world but is especially difficult for children and teenagers with DCD/Dyspraxia.
• This workshop will be delivered with a mixture of power-point presentation and discussion.
• The course cannot be recorded due to participant participation and thus it is important not to sign up if you cannot attend the live events.
• The sessions build on each other so it is important to attend all three workshops.
• The workshops are aimed at parents/carers of children and teenagers with DCD/Dyspraxia but will also be useful to professionals working in the area.
