Childhood Mental Health
By Parentshop Staff•
In today's fast-paced world, parents and caregivers face a range of challenges in nurturing their children's mental health and well-being. A recent study from Smiling Mind presented a concerning statistic: only 1 in 2 parents feel confident in meeting the mental health and well-being needs of their child. This shows how important it is to find ways to help parents feel more sure of themselves.
Emotion Coaching
Toggling
Self-regulation

When it comes to emotion coaching and building healthy behaviour management tools, there is one crucial component that is often not considered; that is, what is actually happening in the brain of the developing child. Toggling is a mechanism wherein there is somewhat of a conversation happening between different parts of our brain. It allows individuals to consider their environment and adapt and manage their responses. However, children are not born with the acknowledge and ability to respond in appropriate ways to their environment. Caregivers can help them understand their environment and emotions better and provide opportunities to build their toggling abilities, allowing their brain’s emotional centre to talk to their reactive centre and self-regulate their behaviour.
