Micro Education presents:
Brains and Behaviour for Kids – how to hack your brain to build emotional intelligence
Stages 2 and up
2 two-hour workshops
Thursdays 8th and 15th June 11.30am-1.30pm
Marrickville
$60 (Paid by Tuesday 6th June)
Key areas of focus:
Understanding how our brains function
The relationship between thoughts and emotions
Useful strategies for dealing with difficult big feelings
When children understand what’s happening in the brain, it can be the first step to having the power to make choices. Sometimes our brains can become overwhelmed with feelings of fear, sadness or anger, and when this happens, it’s confusing. These workshops give children straight forward ways to make sense of what’s happening in their brain as well as vocabulary to communicate their feelings and needs. The workshops explore how our upper and lower brain regions serve different functions that impact how we experience life at a level children can understand in a way that is engaging and fun.
This workshop draws on work by Dr Hazel Harrison as well as the book ‘The Whole Brain Child’ by Dr Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson.
