Managing Big Feelings

Parent comments after the course:

"I started the course with a little boy with a lot of anxiety, school refusal, anger and sadness. By the end I had a little boy who was much calmer and in control of his feelings, was able to articulate his feelings and is now going back into school with ease and happiness."

"This facilitated a unique learning experience that was hugely valued by myself. No distractions, just quality time in nature, with invaluable teaching and guiding from Nikki and Sibi. Hopefully I can continue to make progress with the insight and learning gained from this amazing course. Thank you Nikki and Sibi, you are both amazing and your help is very much appreciated."

"My son has started to think more about his actions and the impact they have on others. He has been using deep breathing on a couple of occasions to calm himself down."

"My son is feeling able to articulate his feelings which is allowing me to help him."

"I did not realise how much of his anger was underpinned by anxiety,

it was really useful for me to see this to help us move forward."

"I leant how important 1:1 time is with your child, and how to allow your child to be heard."

"It has been useful to think about what things trigger me and why. Thinking about baseline anxiety levels being high and escalation quick. I realise that I need more help to find the right way to help my child."

"I found attending the course with my son as being one of the biggest positives of the whole session. Just being able to spend time with him on his own without the demands of his sister and home life has been invaluable. We have just had time to be together and do fun things together outside. It was also really good to meet the other parents and share experiences and ideas. Hearing everyone's experiences helps you put your own into perspective. Being able to be a part of the course and gaining an understanding of what is discussed in each session has been really helpful as I have then been able to take that home with me and carry on and reinforce the learning at home. This is a very important part."
