Support regulation through rhythm and play
No musical experience needed! You won’t be asked to sing ☺️
Music is part of our everyday lives, even if we don’t think of ourselves as musical. Music is breath and rhythm and movement. Music is sensory. Music is a heartbeat. And heartbeats are regulation. This workshop has LOADS of practical exercises, giving you a treasure trove of playful ways to help your child regulate through breath work, clapping, blowing bubbles and MUCH more. And it all comes with a bit of useful theory to help you understand the how and why, too. You don’t have to have any musical experience to use and enjoy rhythm-infused practical play techniques with your child to support their emotional regulation.

Parent workshop FAQs
What parents say about us…
“This session gave me a really good boost and I now know I’m not alone.”
“This week has been difficult – almost at the point of placement breakdown. This (workshop) has given me hope!”
“It is refreshing to meet people with the same sort of circumstances – parenting as a neurodivergent adult, having children with conflicting sensory needs, clash/triggering each other.”
“It was so helpful to know there is help out there and that other parents are in similar situations. I feel less alone when I start to think I’m struggling or drowning.”
“It has been good to think about support networks, and how that helps to reduce violent and aggressive behaviours, as well as increasing capacity to manage the situation.”
“A great opportunity to get together with other parents and care givers going through similar experiences, to hear how others are living lives like ours.”
“I never knew how much I needed this until I started, but knew I was burning out. I got so much out of it personally and lots to take away.”
“I have not just a greater understanding after this workshop but feeling that what we are living is real and not just our perception and that someone else gets it.”
