What Children’s Brains Need
To Develop Healthy Emotional Responses
Join us for a session focused on understanding what’s happening in the brain when emotions feel big — and how we can better support tamariki to reason, regulate, and relate.
Facilitated by the knowledgeable Maria McKenzie (Manager of the Resource Teachers of Learning and Behaviour service), this session is designed to be practical, supportive, and easy to understand — helping you feel more confident in responding to children’s emotional needs.
Let’s grow our understanding together. 💚
