This training is delivered by Dr Louise Mansell, Clinical Child Psychologist and Creator of Tedology. It is designed to support staff teams to understand how to create emotionally nourishing environments, and how to use the Tedology Bear in a more comprehensive, intentional, and informed way – either as part of a daily routine (Calm and Connect) or as a 6–8 session model (Teddy’s Tools) for children who may benefit from a little extra emotional guidance and support.
This 45–90 minute training is designed specifically for teams using the Tedology Bear and focuses on how everyday experiences in early childhood shape emotional wellbeing and future resilience. Complimentary training sessions are offered for those making bulk purchases and for charities – please email for further details.
Why This Training Matters
Early childhood represents a crucial window of brain development, where experiences of safety, connection, and regulation lay the foundations for emotional health, learning, and resilience later in life.
Grounded in attachment theory and developmental neuroscience, this training supports educators to understand:
- How everyday emotional experiences shape the developing brain of young children
- How small tweaks to environments, interactions, and language can support emotional development
- Why regulation and emotional safety are foundational for learning
- The practical application of using Tedology across different settings and levels of need
This training builds on the Tedology guide by explaining the science behind each element, including how sensory input, language, and relational experiences support regulation and emotional development.
Educators and Practitioners Will Gain
✔ An understanding of emotional development and regulation
✔ Confidence applying practical strategies in daily practice
✔ A shared language and approach across the team
✔ Practical ways to support emotional wellbeing and future resilience

Meet Teddy
While the Tedology Bear may look like a teddy bear, it is actually an emotional wellbeing kit designed to help children talk about feelings, feel calmer, and manage big emotions through connection and play.
Developed by renown Clinical Child Psychologist, Dr Louise Mansell, who has more than 15 years' experience supporting children, families, educators and organisations across Australia and the UK.
At the centre is a comforting multi-sensory teddy with fidget-friendly paws, a lightly weighted body, sensory tags, and a simple press-button voice box. Each press of the tummy guides children through playful activities that support emotional understanding, calming, confidence, transitions, and worries.
The Tedology Bear also comes with an Emotional Regulation & Resilience Toolkit, including feelings cards, a children’s activity workbook, adult companion guides, videos and live termly webinar support, making it easier to help children understand and talk about feelings, regulate emotions, and build confidence and resilience at home, in education and in professional settings.
