Pre-adolescent years, that is children aged nine to 12 years old are often referred to as Tweenagers. They come with big physical, emotional, cognitive and social changes and often these children need a lot of support, even though parents often feel at this age their children are pushing them away. During this growth period it is common for all children to display dramatic mood swings but some children will get overwhelmed and overloaded as a result of their sensory processing difficulties.
Action for Children are funning a free webinar on Wednesday 8 January from 7pm until 8pm to provide a safe, friendly and informal space for parents and carers to come together and listen to two Family Hub Navigators, ask questions and share thoughts and ideas.
The webinar will cover:
- sensory systems
- sensory trauma in busy environments and how to help manage the environment
- sensory processing – how our brain interprets all the different senses in the environment at any one time
- sensory overload and signs to be aware of
- coping strategies for tweenagers at school and home
Places are limited, so book your free spot now on the Action for Children Eventbrite page.
