Join Dr. Alessio Bellato, Psychologist and Lecturer at the University of Southampton, for a practical, research-informed introduction to emotion regulation in children and adolescents.
Emotion regulation is essential for young people’s mental health, learning, and relationships, yet many professionals, educators, and parents feel unsure how to recognise difficulties or support these skills in everyday life.
This live webinar will explore how these skills develop from infancy through adolescence, how to identify when a child is struggling, and how to address such challenges.
You’ll gain evidence-based tools to talk about emotions, introduce simple regulation strategies, and support skill-building through daily routines and supportive relationships.
About the session
This live webinar offers a practical, research-informed introduction to emotion regulation. What is emotion regulation? Why does it matter? How can we help children and young people build these skills across different ages and contexts?
We will explore how emotion regulation typically develops across infancy, childhood and adolescence, how to recognise when a child is struggling (both in clinical and non-clinical settings), and how to address such challenges, which are often linked to common mental health conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, and autism.
Moreover, by focusing on evidence-based interventions and real-world strategies, attendees will learn how to talk to children about emotions, introduce simple regulation tools, and support skill-building through daily routines and supportive relationships, and more structured interventions and strategies.
This webinar is designed for clinicians, parents, caregivers, teachers, and anyone looking to feel more confident and better equipped to support emotion regulation in everyday life.
Learning opportunities:
- Explain what emotion regulation is and how it develops across childhood and adolescence.
- Identify common signs of emotion dysregulation in children and young people, including how these may present in different settings (e.g. home, school) and how they are commonly assessed in clinical practice.
- Describe evidence-based interventions for emotion dysregulation in children and young people, and identify practical, evidence-informed strategies to support emotion regulation in everyday situations.
