A Practical Approach to Big Feelings, Behaviour, and Regulation is an evidence-informed program that translates research from neuroscience, child development, attachment and trauma into practical strategies educators can use with children aged 3–6.

Based on the popular children’s book, ‘Dear You Love From Your Brain’, participants gain a clear understanding of how the developing brain shapes behaviour and regulation, along with practical tools to respond effectively to challenging behaviour and emotional dysregulation while supporting children’s social and emotional development.

The program comprises four sequenced components: a 3 hour workshop, the Dear You Love From Your Brain children’s book, a structured lesson plan for embedding strategies into everyday play-based routines, and a follow-up coaching session supporting classroom implementation.
