When children are calm, connected, and confident, they’re primed for optimal learning.
However, with increased demands and commitments on the whole family, a growing sense of disconnect, and strained home dynamics, children often aren’t arriving at school primed to thrive.
Then at school they’re faced with academic expectations, navigating peer relationships, and ongoing classroom dynamics, which only takes them further from the regulated state required in order to engage with, and retain all the material they are being taught.
Because of this, there is an epidemic of anxiety among our children and academic performance is on the decline.
With the right equation, a child’s potential is limitless
Calm Connected Home
When families start the day connected and calm, children arrive at school ready and responsive to learn
Calm Connected Classrooms
When educators create a calm and connected classroom children spend their day engaged
Guided by neuroscience, we’re here to help both parents, and teachers get on the Same Page when it comes to supporting children so they’re able to flourish in any environment.
Our signature masterclasses give educators and families the scientific understanding, practical skills, and easy to implement strategies required to create the calm and connection children need in order to be primed for learning.
And we do it in a way that creates a consistent and universal language, shared by all the primary caregivers in a child's life.
Introducing
The Calm Connected Home
A calm home is the key to creating a more secure child. Yet, the loss of the village leaves parents feeling more disconnected, stressed and depleted than ever before - meaning they are unable to parent in a calm and connected way (despite their best intentions). Equipping parents with the strategies to create more calm and connection within the home is one of the most practical ways you can ensure children are primed to thrive in any environment.
That’s why in our 60 minute Calm, Connected Home masterclass, parents will walk away knowing:
- How to manage those ‘high traffic moments’ (think the mad morning rush before school) in a way that leaves everyone feeling calm, grounded and ready for the day.
- Our C.A.N.™️ formula so both you and your child can find their calm no matter what each day may bring.
- A simple strategy for diffusing power struggles before they begin, allowing you and your child to feel more connected than ever
- How to communicate with your child in a way they will actually listen to you, so you don’t have to continuously repeat the same instructions over and over again
Plus, participants will also receive:
- A workbook to reflect on your new found skills and guide you on how to put them into action within your home
- Scripts to help you and your child feel more calm, connected and confident inside and out of the home
- ’Tomorrow Try’ activities you can start implementing in your home for immediate results
The Calm Connected Classroom
A calm, connected child is a child primed for learning. Yet, we feel the pressure to jump into curriculum content without pausing to check in and ask ourselves “are these students ready to learn?”
Equipping teachers with the strategies to create more calm and connection within the classroom and the wider school setting is vital to a child’s learning, experience and confidence at school.
That’s why in our 60 minute Calm, Connected Classroom masterclass, educators will walk away knowing:
- The impact of feelings on behaviour, and some brain-based ways to explain why your classroom might not always be a place of calm
- Sensory and somatic awareness exercises that’ll support you to keep calm and regulated so your students can do the same
- How to enhance your current wellbeing and classroom management skills using the latest evidence-based practices from the field of neuroscience with ‘resilience resets’
- How to apply our C.A.L.M.™️ formula to prime students for optimal learning
Plus, you'll also receive:
- A workbook to reflect on your new found skills and guide you on how to put them into action within your classroom
- Scripts to help you and your students feel more calm, connected and confident within the classroom and school setting
- ‘Tomorrow Try’ activities you can start implementing in your classroom for immediate results
