Pupil Session 1 – Why Don’t Brains Like Change? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nA session where we talk about what happens to our mental health when we go through any big change. Can we do anything to prepare? What do I do when unexpected things happen? Is it normal to not feel 100% confident about what\u2019s about to happen?
In this first session Brian will talk about how our brains learn new things and why it\u2019s really important to give our brain time to catch up when our world changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pupil Session 2 – Brain Training For Secondary School<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn this session we\u2019ll teach some simple strategies for dealing with common mental health problems by discussing how our mental health is an \u2018inside out\u2019 process. What this means is our mental health is not really about what is happening to us. It\u2019s much more about how we think<\/u><\/strong> about what\u2019s happening to us.
Brian will cover a range of simple strategies and understandings such as “What if\u2026\u201d spirals and how our brain makes all our emotions from thoughts not things.
Parent Session 1 – Understanding The Mind of Your Child<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe move from Primary to Secondary is, for many children, the biggest change they will have experienced in their lives. They will move from the comfort of Primary where they have grown up, made friends, been around the same teachers day in day out, to the much faster world of High School and its hectic world of new people, subjects, teachers, timetables and pressures.
In this session Brian will talk about the psychological changes that happen for our Primary 7s as they begin the next stage in their journey. What should you expect as a parent and how can you prepare for the next stage of your child\u2019s life.
Parent Session 2 – Saying the right things (and at the right time!)<\/strong>
Every parent has felt the pain of saying what they thought was the right thing only to find it, somehow, makes the situation worse or gets the instant feedback that it was very much the wrong thing. And this gets worse and more frequent the older they get. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn this session Brian will cover how to know the right thing to say and when the perfect time to say it is. Knowing just a few key, powerful questions can make you seem like parent of the year rather than a parent facing a temper tantrum. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
