Calling all toddler parents!

Join Penny Jones, Harry Edwards and Isaac Gee for a fun, down-to-earth journey into the art and science of co-regulating with your toddler.

Life with a toddler is beautiful, fun, messy, chaotic, unpredictable and often challenging (we're toddler parents too - we get it!).  And they still need us so very much. So how can we best support them through this huge period of development? 

A bit of science (plus music) can help!

Join us for a fun, accessible dive into the wonderful world of toddlers’ brains – and how to use that knowledge to work with them to regulate, re-set and recharge.

We’ll use storytelling, music and lots of discussion, no fancy words, and there’ll be plenty of practical tools to take away.

From Isaac and Harry, there will be some tips and tricks from music therapy, and from Penny, there will be body-based nervous system tools. We’ll try these out in the session, so you can experience how they can support our toddlers (and ourselves).

We’ll cover:

• Toddler brain development ‘101’ (and why it matters)
• Why big emotions are an inevitable part of toddler parenting and life
• The difference between tantrums and meltdowns
• The art and science of co-regulation
• How music therapy and body-based tools can support us to work with our toddlers to re-set, regulate and recharge
• Self-care strategies for parents

There’ll be time for tea, snacks and a chat afterwards.
