I know it can be a challenge to think about and find time to look for ways to help your child manage their big emotions. That's why I share engaging monthly interactive mindfulness based activities. These are designed to help improve communication between you and your child(ren) and reduce any power struggles and stress within your whole family. Each month will be a different theme from the books in 'The Mindfully Slow Down Series'. You'll receive 2 activities at the start of each month to share with your family. Activities include: drawing, creative writing, journal prompts, discussion prompts, scavenger hunts, family mindfulness activities and more. Children can share photos of their creative work on the interactive Padlet, where they can see other children's work too.

About Natasha I have 7 years experience working with children in the youth and community learning space. This included delivering family support, family learning, and social-emotional learning sessions with children, in a primary school, for three years. Many of the children I worked with found it challenging to manage their emotions, which impacted their wellbeing and increased stress for their family members. Additionally, they often found it difficult to develop friendships and interact with their peers in positive ways. When children are introduced to mindfulness techniques it can help them navigate conflicts with siblings and peers in a positive way. By becoming a member your child(ren) will discover ways to calm down, experience big emotions and gain effective tools to manage feelings such as stress and anxiety. After having my son, I decided to turn what was my side business into my full-time work. I wanted to continue supporting children and families specifically with my books, mindfulness and yoga practices. I primarily offer support to neurodiverse families, however I created this membership for all children. When I was growing up I didn't see myself or my siblings included or represented in books. I want to highlight the importance of diversity and inclusion to every child to promote kindness and acceptance towards others. Join today for only £27 p/m (for your whole family). You can cancel your membership at any time. No refunds for previous months that you have joined the membership.  Contact Find out more about my work or ask any questions by getting in touch below: Website: www.butterfly-minds.co.uk Email: hello@butterfly-minds.co.uk Instagram: @natasha.iregbu.writes and @butterfly_minds_

Joe Griffin reviews past theories and new research findings (which add further evidence for his own theory) as he tells the riveting story of how he solved the mystery of our dreams… Why does Nature select certain experiences to be the subject of our dreams? Why do they feel so meaningful to us? And what purpose do they serve? Fascinating - makes a lot of sense!SUPPORT WORKER Why take this course The renowned Irish psychologist Joe Griffin’s illuminating lecture answers these questions and many more as he takes us through the story of how he solved the mystery of why we dream – and discovered at the same time the significance of dreaming for our mental health. In the 20 years since Griffin first published his hypothesis, every new piece of dream and sleep research has substantiated it – none has contradicted it. In this talk, he examines the evidence and explains why other dream theories fail to come up with satisfactory answers. (His own 12 year research project was prompted by the realisation that the discovery of the REM state in 1953 meant Freudian and Jungian dream theories were ‘dead in the water’.) Whilst describing his own experiments and the key ‘light bulb’ moments which finally helped him solve this age-old mystery, he takes us on a fasincating exploration of the significance of various scientific findings in the field – some previously overlooked – before demonstrating how his expectation fulfilment theory of dreams succinctly pulls them together into a powerful explanation that makes absolute evolutionary and common sense. Nature, as ever, has been clever and economical. I appreciated how such a complex theory was expressed in a way that anyone could relate to and understand. Many ThanksNIKI What you will learn The auto-symbolic process Why all dreams have to be metaphorical to prevent false memories building up Metaphorical pattern-matching Why we evolved to suppress emotions Why dreaming was Nature’s way of conserving energy Why dreaming evolved to maintain the integrity of mammalian instincts The connection between unfulfilled emotional expectations and nightmares Dream predictions Why all mammals dream and more… Who is this course suitable for? If you deal professionally with members of the public in difficult, stressful circumstances, this course – presented without jargon – is for you If you counsel or treat angry people, this training is for you If anger is affecting you personally – or you would simply like to deepen your understanding of anger and its effects – this course will be of benefit to you too The many insights and practical applications that have stemmed from Griffin’s highly original work intro why we dream have huge significance for us all – and they have been quietly revolutionising the successful treatment of mental health and behavioural problems for years through the human givens approach to psychology, psychotherapy and education, co-founded by Joe Griffin and Ivan Tyrrell.
