Why do children have such big feelings?

Why can something as small as the wrong colour bowl, leaving the park or putting on shoes lead to such enormous emotions? And why does reasoning seem to disappear just when we need it most?

Join Dr Morvwen Duncan, Lead Clinical Psychologist and Founder of The Lotus Psychology Practice, for a free webinar exploring how children's emotions develop and what parents can do to support them.

Together, we'll explore:

-What emotional regulation is and how it develops.
-What neuroscience tells us about children's brains.
-The importance of co-regulation and secure relationships.
-Practical strategies to support your child in developing their emotional regulation.
-Gain a deeper understanding of what’s happening beneath your child’s big feelings and how connection can help them learn to manage emotions.

Reserve your free place here: https://bit.ly/4hQfh5h and join us on Thursday 3rd September at 7pm for this expert webinar with Dr Morvwen Duncan.

Why is every child so different?

Why does one child run confidently into nursery while another hangs back? Why do siblings raised in the same home develop so differently? And why does development sometimes feel unpredictable?

Join Dr Morvwen Duncan, Lead Clinical Psychologist and Founder of The Lotus Psychology Practice, for a free webinar exploring what developmental psychology and neuroscience can teach us about how children grow, learn and develop.

Together, we'll explore:
- What child development really means
- Why children develop at different rates
- Why development isn't always a straight line
- How biology, relationships and experiences shape development

Discover a deeper understanding of your child's unique developmental journey and what helps them thrive.

Join us on Thursday 20th August at 7pm for this expert webinar with Dr Morvwen Duncan.

πŸ“πŸ₯£πŸ¦ Busy Little Explorers in Our Baby Room! 🍦πŸ₯£πŸ“

Our little ones have had a lovely time getting creative, exploring and learning through play! πŸ’•βœ¨

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Little Bakers: We had lots of fun making our very own oat and fruit bites! The children enjoyed scooping, mixing, squishing and exploring the different ingredients and textures with their little hands. πŸ‘πŸŽπŸŒ

🍦 Ice Cream Fun: We also explored our β€œMake Your Own Ice Cream” tuff tray, using colourful playdough to create our own delicious-looking treats! The children enjoyed rolling, squeezing, shaping and choosing their own colours and toppings. 🌈🍨

These activities provide wonderful opportunities to develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, sensory awareness, creativity and independence, all while having lots of fun and making new discoveries! πŸ₯°

We loved seeing our little learners getting stuck in, using their imaginations and enjoying every moment of their hands-on experiences. πŸ’›
