Tuning in to Interoception - the hidden component of regulation

Do some children seem to have big reactions to seemingly small things?

Do they seem to “get stuck” at times?

These challenges may relate to interoception - the internal sensory system that gives our brain information about our body’s internal state and emotions.

Join us for an evening of networking as we:

• Discuss the role interoception has on emotional regulation and behaviour, and the interplay with executive functioning.
• Share some examples of children with difficulty understanding their body’s interoceptive messages.
• Learn practical ways to help children tune in, understand what their body needs, and take steps to address this need.
• Practical and playful strategies to boost executive functioning skills and regulation at preschool

This workshop aligns with the National Quality Standard:

• QA 3: Inclusive Environment
