About this course

The child who wrecks the game when they lose, sobs for 20 minutes because they weren't picked to help, or ends up on the floor outside assembly can look rude or attention-seeking. Often what's really happening is that they can't bring big feelings back down, a skill most children learn after the toddler years.

You'll learn why a noisy hall still smelling of lunch can flood a child's senses, and how tiredness and illness make things worse. You'll also know the everyday signs to watch for, like struggling to switch tasks, taking ages to settle after something exciting, or slowly losing friends.

It's taught by an assistant headteacher at a special school, and it sets you up for the companion course of practical strategies, Self Regulation Difficulties: Ten Top Tips and Strategies.
