From The Anxiety Project 

"A child's anxiety will not usually fix itself. Unless something changes, it will tend to worsen. However, the good news is that seemingly-modest interventions delivered by significant adults can make a difference and turn that progression around."

Michael Hawton -  MAPS Psychologist

TAP Student Lessons

Our classes have nearly completed their TAP lessons for 2025 and at all levels have learnt about their amydala and its role of processing emotions in the brain, particularly fear and anxiety. Children are learning how they can work to calm their own amygdalas by taking control and employing calming techniques.

Please see some of these calming techniques from TAP below:

TAP Parent Development Course

We wish to extend our thanks to all parents that attended our third TAP Parent Development Course session at the end of last term.

During this session we recapped and explored:

1. Fear reduction techniques
2. The need for children to develop their emotional vocabulary
3. The importance of preventing children from using inaccurate and inflammatory reactions to events
4. Managing parent reactions that may compel them to 'rescue' their child from stressful situations
5. The importance of 'Radical Downtime' ie. getting out in nature, meditation, tech free time

FINAL - TAP Parent Information Session
