WHEN IT IS SCARY TO GO TO SCHOOL – a series of recorded sessions with Niki of THE CONTENTED CHILD
COST £75 per family
This series of sessions is written for the child (and parent) who is showing anxious behaviours around attending school.
The aim will be to educate children around triggers in the school and home environment, an understanding of anxiety and the brain, the negative bias brain, physical feelings associated with anxiety and building a toolbox of coping and calming strategies. We shall also be introducing self-esteem building resources during the duration. There will be guided practical activities to consolidate the child’s understanding.
The recordings will be delivered weekly over a course of 6 weeks, one per week, commencing 8 April 2024. However, the recordings will remain live and parents/child can access in their own time and pace, although there will be weekly tasks to embed the content of the session.
There will also be educational posts and links, suitable for child and parent. We aim to equip parents as well as the child to manage the situation.
Initial resource packs and access arrangements for the private Facebook group will be sent out prior to 8 April 2024, or upon booking if after 8 April – parent/s will need access to a printer. Further resources will be uploaded to the group as files for downloading.
There will also be the opportunity for parents to ask questions and seek advice in the group or via email.
Niki has worked with many young people through the years with good impact and writes interventions which are delivered worldwide to educate children in emotional regulation.

SUPPORTING YOUR CHILD'S BIG FEELINGS - GUIDED PARENT AND CHILD EMOTIONAL REGULATION SESSIONS
2025-05-25 13:00 - 2025-10-31 17:00 | Private Facebook Group
DUE TO DEMAND – I am once again running online sessions for parent and child to access our popular intervention together. This also makes content available regardless of geography/location.
Improved emotion regulation leads to benefits in all areas of a child’s life. Children who are able to regulate their emotions, pay more attention, work harder, and achieve more in school. They are better able to resolve conflicts with their peers and show lower levels of physiological stress. They are also better behaved — and more caring towards others.
Suitable for children and young people who struggle to manage their emotions appropriately, show after school restraint collapse, show physical behaviours towards others and have a negative mindset.
This 6 week guided online intervention (for parent and child) aims to
• raise awareness of self, including triggers
• educate about the anxiety/emotional cycle so as to recognise in oneself
• ascertain understanding of emotions (both in oneself and others)
• understand the changes in the brain before and during crisis (upstairs/downstairs brain)
• an understanding of the physical feelings during the overwhelm cycle
• educate around the optimal time to use strategies for calming
• develop a range of appropriate strategies for calming and finding solutions
• understand the consequences of choices (healthy/unhealthy) and develop the ability to reflect in order to learn healthier alternatives.
As well as a range of activities to raise self-esteem and develop brain healthy habits moving forward. The resulting information can inform assessment processes, be used to increase school awareness of the child. Additional resources will also be made available according to need. Email support is available.
Parents will be sent a parent information pack and checklists upon booking. Content will remain live until 31 October 2025 so parents can access to fit in with the family schedule.
SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN AGE 6-13 years.
GOING LIVE WEDNESDAY 18 June 2025. Attendees will be sent invitations to join the private Facebook group before 11 June 2025.
Content will be delivered by Niki Green (in a private Facebook group) via recorded sessions and resource making instructions. Parents will need access to a printer.
