So much has happened over the past two years that has left children uncertain and confused. The rise of anxiety caused by the pandemic continues to sweep across the globe manifested in some countries by sabre rattling, others as fatalistic acceptance, in others as desperation. True to our neurobiology when threatened we initially respond in a reptilian way of fight, freeze or flight.
But luckily we are resilient. With our complex, hope-filled predisposition there is lots of potential for change. But this change can only be brought about by understanding the processes that happen to us during traumatic events, and how not feeling in control makes us feel and act.
If you are keen to support the children you care for, or just to understand yourselves better, then our two upcoming masterclasses are ideal.
These three-hour experiential workshops offer hands-on exploration with best practice theory which will help you understand how we process and express difficulties pre-verbally and how we can harness creativity and play to help children recover from the pandemic.
These are the first of our new series of Masterclasses run through our online academy. So you can join wherever you are in the world.
Mess and Monsters – A Masterclass exploring fear and chaos and ways to transform them.
