Behaviour is communication

Behaviour is communication

Every action a child takes is a reflection of their internal world, often shaped by unmet needs and childhood wounds. In our “Decoding Behaviour” workshop, you’ll learn how to become a detective of behaviour, gaining the skills to interpret and respond to the underlying messages children convey through their actions. Discover how the core needs for safety, being seen, soothed, and secure drive a child’s behaviour. When these needs aren’t met, children instinctively search for ways to fulfill them, often leading to challenging behaviours both at home and in school.

This workshop offers a transformative introduction to shifting your perspective on behaviour, empowering you to respond with empathy and understanding. Ideal for teachers, parents, and carers, this workshop will equip you with practical tools to create environments where children feel supported and understood. Join us and start viewing behaviour not as a problem to be managed, but as a meaningful expression that guides us to meet the deeper needs of every child.
