Children on the spectrum are often extra passionate about so many things, and this brings a lot of joy into their life! Challenges with social-communication skills, including attending to and relating to other people socially can lead to difficulties with emotion regulation, which can lead to big feelings that are difficult for adults to manage. This workshop will address some key areas of difficulty in emotion regulation for young children and how this can relate specifically to children on the spectrum, and some tools we can work on to manage these situations with care and compassion, with a focus on learning how to cope.
