I have become an expert in diplomacy and managing behaviours.
In my role as a Childminder I have to help little one’s transition into my setting, helping them adjust, make attachments, learn to share, turn take, co-operate and help co- regulate their behaviours. Self regulation does not fully develop until early adulthood- mid 20’s.
It’s important to
understand that all children’s emotions and feelings are valid but that some of their behaviours are not.
name feelings and recognise the emotions they are experiencing
show them how to manage strong feelings and giving you tips to help you co-regulate alongside them and help them calm themselves down
help them develop coping techniques and tools for different situations
show them how to express themselves differently, what could they do next time they have the same feelings
model good behaviours ourselves to children
support them as they come out of emotional storms, temper tantrums, melt-downs, flap & flips- whatever the terminology you use.
Emotional management packages:
1 hour telephone/video conference. An e-guide to help you learn co-regulating techniques and children learn regulating skills £50
2 hour home visit- observing and advising/showing some techniques. An E-guide to helping you and your child learn regulating strategies £100 + travel expenses
Please call me if you live in a country where the income/currency is lower than the prices in English Pounds then I am open to finding a price that is fair and affordable to your family.
