For Teachers
At Calm and Connected we are very passionate about giving parents and teachers information so that they can better understand the children they are supporting. Our philosophy is that parents and teachers are with their children 24/7, where as they may only see a therapist for a short period of time. So it is important that parents and teachers are empowered to carry out the strategies that therapists recommend in our therapy sessions. However getting a strategy is not enough if you don’t know how or when to use it right? So that is why our workshops focus on giving the why and the how. Parents/teachers are then often able to come up with their own strategies that specifically suit their classroom and child.
