Tuning in to Kids: Parenting Tips & Tricks Course
Free Parenting Course ran by our very own Mana Ake Team!!
Is your child struggling to manage their big emotions like anger, fear or anxiety? This course will help them become aware and regulate their own emotions, and help you develop:
• An awareness of their children’s emotions;
• The ability to use children’s emotional experiences as an opportunity for closeness and teaching;
• Skills in assisting children to verbally label and manage their emotions;
• Skills in assisting children to problem solve;
• Support to guide children’s behaviour with appropriate limits.
We have a local group coming up in Parklands starting on May 25th . Any questions, email: kim.button@yat.org.nz
