Practical strategies for supporting regulation, resilience, and the developing brain
Children build emotional wellbeing through everyday interactions with the adults and environments around them. This practical session supports educators and practitioners to use ordinary moments – such as connection, routines, play, and everyday language – as powerful opportunities to support emotional safety, regulation, and resilience.
Rather than adding more programs to an already busy day, the session focuses on small, intentional changes in environments, routines, and interactions that can make a meaningful difference to children’s emotional regulation, connection, and window of tolerance for distress.
Informed by Dr Louise Mansell’s training and experience, this session draws upon attachment theory and neuroscience, including Theraplay principles (Phyllis Booth), PACE (Dan Hughes, 2012), and the work of Tina Bryson and Daniel Siegel. Educators will explore how these principles translate into real-life practice.
In this session, educators and professionals supporting children will explore:
- How the developing brain and nervous system shape children’s capacity for emotional regulation and understanding
- How everyday language and adult responses influence children’s ability to calm, engage, and learn
- How simple tweaks to environments and routines can support emotional safety and strengthen relationships
- Practical, everyday strategies and playful activities that build connection, regulation, and healthy emotional development
The session builds attendee confidence by explaining the science behind what works in a clear and accessible way – helping educators understand not just what to do, but why it supports children’s wellbeing, brain development, and nervous system regulation. You will leave with practical tools you can apply immediately, and strategies that fit naturally into daily routines.
