SUMMARY:E SAFETY AND THE IMPACT OF SCREEN TIME ON YOUNG MINDS
DESCRIPTION:The average age for a child to get their first phone is now 8 yrs old. No amount of parental controls on your devices can substitute for ensuring both you and your children are well informed and understand the risks and benefits of using screens. This workshop will explore the emerging research around the negative impact of screen time for our young people as well as building confidence in parents to champion the positives of computing and ideas of how we can best support our children to navigate safely in the digital world. Find out about the risks and rewards of computing\, monitoring and managing screen time\, age restrictions on gaming & social media and access resources around keeping your children safe online. \n‘Very eye-opening\, brilliant resources – Every parent needs to come to this workshop’

SUMMARY:MISUNDERSTOOD DEFIANCE - UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORTING PDA AND ODD
DESCRIPTION:How do you cope when presented with a child who is persistently defiant\, argumentative\, irritable and presents as needing to be in control of everything – to the extent that seriously interferes with day to day life?\nPathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome (PDA) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) are diagnoses that can describe such behaviour. This short training session seeks to explore behaviours linked to these diagnoses so that parents and professionals can have a better understanding of why and how they occur.\nThe course will explore the recommended strategies for supporting and ways to manage when faced with these challenging behaviours.\nThere will be opportunities for Q and A throughout with handouts providing links and signposting to further information for those who wish to explore further. \nRefreshments are provided and there is free parking at the venue

SUMMARY:Emotional Regulation (including anger/anxiety)
DESCRIPTION:EMOTIONAL REGULATION – For parents and professionals to provide support at home and in the school environment \nFor many children to thrive and succeed within the home and school setting\, they need to have developed an ability to manage/regulate their emotions so that they are able to learn and achieve. \nAn original version of the intervention written by Niki Green has been successfully implemented in many local schools and Niki is now running a new enhanced version of the original program in several other Shepway schools as well as privately through The Contented Child with measured impact. The original version is being successfully run across Shepway and other districts. Delegates will have the opportunity to gain a theoretical overview of the rage/anxiety cycle and to consider the underlying reasons for a pupil’s behaviour. Delegates will be supported to identify strategies to support pupils at each of the stages of the rage/anxiety cycle and to explore the reasons for heightened anxieties/emotions.\nDelegates will be provided with a resource pack to run the new enhanced 6/12 week structured intervention programme through sharing examples of effective practice.The programmes are structured to enable the pupils to develop their skills in managing their own crisis situations and to be able to reflect. Children will create a workbook and be introduced to a variety of visual supports which can be used as a management tool by parents/setting staff and enable consistency in approach. This programme can also be adapted for small group work. \nRefreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Sibling ASD/ADHD Awareness
DESCRIPTION:‘As an autism sibling\, I make sacrifices that a lot of my friends will never understand. I don’t mind though\, I love my brothers and autism is our life’\nLayla Daly \nLiving with autism or ADHD in the family can have its challenges and often siblings can be silently struggling\, with little available support.\nUsing accessible\, age appropriate mediums such as interactive games and current movie clips we will aim to raise your child’s awareness and understanding of their sibling’s autism as well as give them the opportunity to mix and talk with other young siblings to be able to air their feelings within a safe\, supported environment. We will also offer practical coping skills and strategies to increase their resilience. Suggested age range 7-15 years. Parents do not need to attend. \nPlease notify us if your child has any allergies\, training@thecontentedchild.co.uk. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Teenage Anxiety - Understanding the Impact and Building Strategies to Thrive
DESCRIPTION:Up to 1 in 3 teenagers struggle with chronic anxiety – overwhelming feelings of worry\, fear and panic that can make daily life immensely difficult to navigate. \nWithout support\, living with persistent anxiety can result in complex and unhelpful patterns of behaviour developing and often results in a negative cycle of isolation feeding the anxiety. Positively\, there are lots of effective techniques that can help teenagers reduce feelings of anxiety and learn how to keep them from taking over. \nThis workshop explores the wide ranging factors that can impact on anxiety levels and helps participants to develop understanding of the impact this can have on teenagers. \nParticipants will leave with a ‘toolbox’ of resources that teenagers can use on their own or with a support person to help them deal with the day to day challenges of anxiety and break free of negative cycles. \nParking is free at this venue with a parking permit. This will be forward to you prior to the event or alternatively available on the day. \nTickets are £25 per person.

SUMMARY:Anxiety – Helping Children to Cope
DESCRIPTION:‘Anxiety is a thin stream of fears trickling through the mind. If encouraged\, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.’ \nArthur Somers Roche \nThe daily pressures on our children are increasing from targets and testing in the classroom to the rise of pressure advertising and social media. For many of our children the world\, or certain aspects of it\, is overwhelming\, complex and scary. From separation and social anxiety to performance and health anxiety\, an increasing number of children now benefit from direct support to manage their worries. \nThis workshop will introduce you to the current thinking around children’s anxiety and move onto exploring ways to support young people to manage their anxiety more effectively. We will introduce you to visual resources and a toolbox of practical strategies that can be used within home and school. \n  \nTickets £20 per person. Refreshments included. \nFEEDBACK \n‘Fantastic course – can definitely recommend and I will certainly attend more workshops on offer. Thank you for delivering a well rounded session and thank you to everyone else present. I came away feeling more informed\, confident and reassured. This is probably the first time that I felt that others ‘got it’\, that I wasn’t alone and it has reassured me that I am heading in the right direction with the various strategies etc. Once again\, thank you for the professional delivery of the course and opportunity’ \n

DESCRIPTION:‘Anxiety is a thin stream of fears trickling through the mind. If encouraged\, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.’ \nArthur Somers Roche \nThe daily pressures on our children are increasing from targets and testing in the classroom to the rise of pressure advertising and social media. For many of our children the world\, or certain aspects of it\, is overwhelming\, complex and scary. From separation and social anxiety to performance and health anxiety\, an increasing number of children now benefit from direct support to manage their worries. \nThis workshop will introduce you to the current thinking around children’s anxiety and move onto exploring ways to support young people to manage their anxiety more effectively. We will introduce you to visual resources and a toolbox of practical strategies that can be used within home and school. \n  \nTickets £20 per person. Refreshments included. \nFEEDBACK \n‘Fantastic course – can definitely recommend and I will certainly attend more workshops on offer. Thank you for delivering a well rounded session and thank you to everyone else present. I came away feeling more informed\, confident and reassured. This is probably the first time that I felt that others ‘got it’\, that I wasn’t alone and it has reassured me that I am heading in the right direction with the various strategies etc. Once again\, thank you for the professional delivery of the course and opportunity’ \n

SUMMARY:Emotional Regulation (including anger/anxiety)
DESCRIPTION:EMOTIONAL REGULATION – For parents and professionals to provide support at home and in the school environment \nFor many children to thrive and succeed within the home and school setting\, they need to have developed an ability to manage/regulate their emotions so that they are able to learn and achieve. \nAn original version of the intervention written by Niki Green has been successfully implemented in many local schools and Niki is now running a new enhanced version of the original program in several other Shepway schools as well as privately through The Contented Child with measured impact. The original version is being successfully run across Shepway and other districts. Delegates will have the opportunity to gain a theoretical overview of the rage/anxiety cycle and to consider the underlying reasons for a pupil’s behaviour. Delegates will be supported to identify strategies to support pupils at each of the stages of the rage/anxiety cycle and to explore the reasons for heightened anxieties/emotions.\nDelegates will be provided with a resource pack to run the new enhanced 6/12 week structured intervention programme through sharing examples of effective practice.The programmes are structured to enable the pupils to develop their skills in managing their own crisis situations and to be able to reflect. Children will create a workbook and be introduced to a variety of visual supports which can be used as a management tool by parents/setting staff and enable consistency in approach. This programme can also be adapted for small group work. \nRefreshments will be provided.
