19.01.2022 Your wellbeing is an important part of life and we want to better understand what makes a difference to you. Upper Hunter Where theres a Will has partnered with The University of Melbourne to measure your wellbeing using a survey. The aim of this community wellbeing project is to measure and understand your well-being, so that the collective perspectives and experiences of the local community can be used to design, develop and/or refine wellbeing initiatives in your local mu...nicipality. This survey will take 15 to 20 minutes to complete and there are no right or wrong answers. All information is confidential, and the school does not see or receive any individual responses. This is your last chance to become involved as the survey closes this Friday 28th August. Please get involved and have your say. Please click on this link to our survey: https://melbourneuni.au1.qualtrics.com//form/SV_1MlLN421rH

18.01.2022 Little People, Big Feelings | Free Live Webinar on Monday 7 September! What are we supposed to do when our child is having a tantrum? Losing the plot? Going off... their rocker? Most of our responses no matter how well-intended can make things worse. We tell them to stop it, calm down, cut it out and they dont! They get worse! We send them to their room, take the iPad it all backfires. Dealing with little peoples big emotions (and challenging behaviours) in the middle of an outburst is tough! The tricky thing is that much of our childrens challenging behaviour (and our feeling that they are not resilient) has less to do with the behaviour were seeing, and more to do with the big emotions theyre feeling that were not quite sure what to do with. Little People, Big Feelings is Dr Justin Coulsons powerful guide to teaching children to understand and regulate their emotional world. Once they develop competence with this critical life skill, emotionally intelligent children will feel more confident, perform better at school, have healthier relationships with others, and even be physically healthier. This presentation equips parents with a five-step emotion coaching process that brings together the very best in emotional intelligence research from Dr John Gottman, the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence, and others to build childrens resilience, increase wellbeing for the whole family, and develop healthier humans. Tune in online from 8pm- 9pm this Monday via https://www.facebook.com/events/315567756260560
