Calm at Home – Webinar [4 Part Series]

Calm at Home

A four-part parent workshop series from Achieve Health and Wellbeing

Each workshop runs for 40 minutes and suits families of children with or without additional needs. No diagnosis is needed. Family Support Hubs may choose to host it as a one-hour session, giving parents time afterwards to connect and talk together. In my experience, these conversations are often the golden moments, when parents feel heard, empowered and truly part of their community.

Workshop 1: The Rhythm of the Day
Building predictable, calming routines from morning to bedtime, so children know what’s coming and transitions feel easier.

Workshop 2: Stress, The Brain & Sensory Processing

• How senses work, and why some children feel too much or not enough
• What stress does to the brain, and how to spot it early at home
• The meltdown cycle: what helps before, during and after
• Co-regulation: “your calm is their calm”
• Home strategies: a calm corner, picture routines, sensory tools, movement breaks and countdowns
• Activity: make a Calm Kit list for your child

Workshop 3: Connection in the Small Moments

• Serve and return: how everyday interactions build connection and the brain
• Joining your child’s play their way: wait, wonder, then step in; show, say, invite, step back
• Finding small moments in busy routines, plus five minutes of special time
• Side-by-side connection for children who find face-to-face hard
• Repair: why putting things right matters more than getting it perfect

Workshop 4: The Help Ladder: Prompting for a Calmer Home

• Six rungs of help, from hands-on help to “All by myself!”
• When and how to step down, and why it’s OK to climb back up on hard days
• Too much vs too little help, and the power of waiting
• Offering choices and teaching children to ask for help
• Activity: make a Help Ladder plan for one everyday skill
• “Help a little. Step back a little. Celebrate a lot.”
