Why take this course

Are you living or working with children whose behaviour you sometimes find challenging? Do you feel like you have tried everything, and nothing works consistently? Maybe you are a psychotherapist working with adults who have concerns about their children and would like to be better placed to help?

Miriam Chachamu’s wide-reaching training day, which focuses mainly on children under the age of 11, offers an insight into children’s minds and gives you practical skills to communicate effectively with children and reduce emotional outbursts. You will also learn how children experience the world and what they really need from us to develop as mentally healthy individuals. Together with these psychological understandings, you will learn positive, practical communication skills that enable these needs to be met and help children become their best.

Using the insights and skills covered on this course, we can create an environment in which not only children but also the rest of the family, class or school can thrive.
