Big Emotions Workshop with Bloom360
One of the best ways we can support and nurture our young adults and children is understanding how they uniquely experience and respond to the world! Individuals make sense of the world through how their body and brain receive, organize, and respond to sensory input. Sometimes a person’s response to sensory stimuli can be over-reactive (really big) or under-reactive (shut down), leading to big emotions and big behaviors.
In this workshop you will:
– Learn that behavior is communication
– Understand how sensory processing leads to a deeper connection with your neurodivergent individuals.
– Gain strategies/tools that honor individual differences in times of big emotions.
Note: $5 refundable reservation fee required to reserve your spot. To be refunded when you attend the event. Forfeiture of refund if you do not show up to the workshop.
