Creating Playgrounds for Emotional Expression Webinar May 22, 2020
Webinar presented by Hannah Beach and Tamara Strijack on Creating Playgrounds for Emotional Expression (https://reclaimingourstudents.com/) When emotions stop moving, we start to see the signs of problem behaviour. Expression of emotion is the first step in emotional development, and yet many children, adolescents and adults can get stuck here. We all need safe places to express the emotions that are stirred up within us, as well as release pent up emotional energy. The challenge is finding those safe places. In this session, we will explore natural playgrounds for emotion to come out and play, and how we might facilitate this process - for our children, our adolescents and ourselves.
