Working with Anxious Children: Training for Emotional Regulation and Mental Health
Introduction
Supporting anxious children can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s not without its challenges. Anxiety in children often shows up in ways that can be misunderstood—tantrums, withdrawal, or physical symptoms like tummy aches. For parents, teachers, and carers, knowing how to respond calmly and effectively is key to helping these children thrive.
This is where specialised training in emotional regulation and mental health comes in. Whether you’re a parent, an educator, or looking to become a coach, learning practical tools and strategies can make a transformative difference.
Our training combines the STILL Method, therapeutic art, and emotional regulation strategies to give you the skills you need to create real, lasting change.
Why Anxiety Support Matters
Childhood anxiety is increasingly recognised as a significant issue. It can interfere with learning, friendships, and even family life. But many adults working with children feel unprepared to help, often asking:
How can I help a child who feels overwhelmed?
What tools actually work to calm anxiety?
How can I encourage emotional regulation in a way that’s engaging for children?
Our STILL Method Coaching Training and Therapeutic Art and Emotional Regulation Course answer these questions and equip you with effective, child-friendly strategies.
What You’ll Learn
Our training focuses on blending creativity, structure, and evidence-based techniques to address anxiety and teach emotional regulation. Here’s what’s included:
1. STILL Method Coaching
The STILL Method equips you with practical tools to reduce anxiety and build confidence in children. You’ll learn how to create personalised plans that help children navigate their challenges and develop resilience.
2. Therapeutic Art Techniques
Art is a powerful tool for self-expression and emotional healing. Our training teaches you how to use art activities to help children process their emotions and develop healthier coping strategies—without needing to be an artist yourself.
