What's Up With My Brain? - Student Workshops
An interactive and engaging workshop for kids, aged 8 and up.
​
During the last 20 years we have learnt that children are very keen to understand themselves, and with that understanding comes a feeling of empowerment. When children start to understand what happens in their brains and bodies, they become more confident to take responsibility for their behaviour.
​
-
Children are able to describe what they feel and link that to emotions.
-
They are able to implement proactive strategies (When I feel like this, I'll do that before this happens)
-
They become more confident and willing to try strategies.
-
They love seeing the positive results and reflect on their progress.
