In-person workshop for parents to explore how sensory processing, executive function and nervous system responses shape a child's behaviour.
Sam Lewis Therapy is running a workshop called Parenting Beneath Behaviour: When Life Works Differently at Acorn House on Thursday 12 November, from 6:30pm to 9pm. It's a two-and-a-half-hour session, and doors open at 6:15pm, so you've got a bit of time to settle in before it kicks off.
The whole idea is to look beneath difficult behaviour and think about what a child might actually be communicating and what's affecting their capacity to cope. It's not about the behaviour itself, but what's driving it. The session goes into how sensory processing, executive function, communication, energy and nervous system responses can shape a child's capacity, and how small changes to pressure, connection and support might make a difference. If you've spent a lot of time wondering why things feel so hard with your child, that's exactly where this sits.
It's an in-person workshop, and it's kept small — limited to eight participants, all aged 18 and over. That means it's more of a conversation than a lecture, with space to actually talk through things rather than just listening to someone talk at you. The small group size also means you're not just one face in a crowd, so it should feel manageable if you're not usually one for these sorts of things.
