What's inside this article: An in-depth look at how exercise changes the neurotransmitters in the brain, to improve emotional regulation, instructions for a fun workout for kids, and a free printable poster to use with your children.

It sounds surprising, but you can improve emotional regulation in your child in as little as 7 minutes per day. I'll explain how.

Our lives are so busy, it makes it hard to make time for new, time-consuming activities.

But 7 minutes is such a short period of time and can have a huge impact on your child's emotional regulation skills.

Emotional Regulation and Dysregulation

E motional regulation is the ability to effectively manage and respond to an emotional experience. People unconsciously use emotion regulation strategies to cope with difficult situations many times throughout each day.

When a child experiences dysregulation they aren't able to diffuse their negative emotions.

These emotions can take control leading to over-the-top reactions, outbursts, or meltdowns. This is extremely common for children with complex behavioral challenges.

For example, kids who have Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, or other neurological differences.

Emotional regulation can be achieved in two ways.

Most kids need help sometimes, or even all the time, with emotional regulation. However, you can improve their ability to achieve emotional regulation in just 7 minutes per day with exercise.

The exercise needs to be intense. Short intensive bursts provide better results than longer durations of exercises with less impact.
I have created a 7-minute workout, designed to be fun for kids and high-impact for maximum benefits!
How Does Exercise Improve Emotional Regulation?

It's amazing how this works.
Our mind, brain, and body are all interconnected.
When your child is dysregulated, their brain produces high levels of the stress hormone, cortisol. It also produces adrenaline. An increase in cortisol spikes anxiety and dysregulation.

When this occurs, functional and social communication skills decrease - because the brain can't access the prefrontal cortex, that controls executive functioning.

This is what leads to meltdowns which cause a huge spike in adrenaline due to the fight or flight response being triggered.

Some research suggests that during a meltdown an individual's IQ even drops by 30 points.

Exercise has been proven to reduce cortisol and adrenaline levels. In other words, it helps improve emotional regulation.

This lessens anxiety and results in increased dopamine and other endorphins. These are the brain's natural mood lifters. Less cortisol and more dopamine mean self-regulation is much easier.

The benefits don't stop there though - the increased dopamine levels improve the functions of synapses in the brain. As a result communication ability improves, as does the ability to retrieve information.
This means that overall the brain is in a better state for learning.
7 Minute HIIT Workout for Emotional Regulation

For this workout you will need:

That's it. You can do this exercise anywhere.

Shove some furniture out of the way if you need to make a little more room.

Ideally, this should be done first thing in the morning, especially on school days. These exercises provide unparalleled stimuli, making an environment where the brain is ready and willing to learn.

Teachers can use it during the day as a way to offer their students a brain break.

However, I've also received feedback from parents that doing this workout a second time after school also helps reduce afterschool meltdowns because many kids struggle with emotional regulation in the afternoon.

Basically, in order to learn, understand, and apply new knowledge there needs to be a proper balance of neurochemicals in the brain to bind neurons together.

Otherwise, the information is not efficiently retained in long-term memory. It will also help your child start their school day it a positive emotional state.

Before You Begin
Set your interval timer for 7 rounds of 45 seconds of work, and 15 seconds of rest, totaling 7 minutes.
Get your kiddo's favorite upbeat music on and get ready to go hard. Your child (and you! You've got to model what you want to see!) should be doing as many of these exercises as possible in 45 seconds.

You actually want to be tired, breathing heavy, and heartbeat elevated at the end of this 7 minutes.

These exercises are all animal themed by the way to make them fun for kids!

Instructions

Frog Hops

These are exactly what they sound like. Hop back and forth, like a frog. Depending on how much room you have, you may need to hop in one place.

Bear Walk

Place your hands and feet on the floor. Your hips and butt should be in the air, higher than your head. On all fours take two steps forward and two steps back, then repeat.

Gorilla Shuffles

Sink down into a low sumo squat and place your hands on the ground between your feet. Shuffle a few steps to the left and then back a few steps to the right. Maintain the squat and ape-like posture through the entire movement.

Starfish Jumps

These are jumping jacks! Do as many as you can, arms and legs spread wide like a starfish!

Cheetah Run

Run in place, as fast as you can!

Crab Crawl

Sit with your knees bent and place your palms flat on the floor behind you near your hips. Lift your body off the ground and "walk" on all fours forward and then backward.

Elephant Stomps

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and stomp, raising your knees up to hip level, or as high as you can bring them up. Try to hit the palm of your hands with your knees.

And You're Done!

Take some time to cool down slowly.

Do some stretches or yoga poses and allow your heart rate to return to normal. Those 7 minutes will give you and your kiddos a boost that will leave you feeling great for hours!

The animal theme makes this work out enjoyable for kids. Encourage them to use their imagination and make this work out feel like play.

If your kids love this workout, you can also try this 8 minute workout for kids.

Other Benefits of Exercise

Aside from helping to improve emotional regulation, there are other benefits to high-intensity exercise for kiddos with autism.

Please visit this site to find out if you qualify for the surviving winter fuel allowance

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Surviving Winter appeal is a fundraising initiative through Suffolk Community Foundation which relies on the generosity of householders to donate their 'Winter Fuel Payment' to support the most vulnerable households during the winter months. This programme will continue in 2023/24 and is available to residents across the whole of Suffolk with a payment of up to £175 towards fuel costs, or a delivery of fuel for households using Oil or LPG in their heating systems.

Applications are now open for the 2023/24 grant year.
This year, the Surviving Winter programme will prioritise working households, those who are in work but who still face financial hardship due to the lack of government support which is only available to those on means-tested benefits.

The Surviving Winter eligibility criteria for 2023/24 are:

Aged 65 or under
(as people aged 66+ will receive the Winter Fuel Payment from the Government*)

Your combined household income must be less than £35,000

You must not be in receipt of any means-tested benefits
(as you will receive the Cost of Living payments directly from DWP)

Your combined household savings must be less that £1,500

Your home address must be in Suffolk

If you believe that you are eligible for a Surviving Winter grant, please apply by completing the online form:
Click here to apply for a Surviving Winter grant

If you're unable to apply online, please contact Citizens Advice Ipswich who are administering the programme centrally for the whole of Suffolk on 01473 298 634.

* If a member of your household is 66, but born on or after 25/09/1957 and therefore won't receive the Winter Fuel Payment, please call us to explain this.

Please note that due to the popularity of the project it may take up to three weeks for your application to be processed. Thank you for your patience.

The Surviving Winter appeal:

Unbelievable as it may sound, an average of 347 vulnerable people in Suffolk die each year from causes directly attributable to the cold and poor living conditions. This is the tip of the iceberg - almost 75,000 households in Suffolk live in fuel poverty. Many suffer in silence during the coldest months, often hidden from view, withdrawn from the world around them.

With the continual support of the East Anglian Daily Times, Suffolk Community Foundation's Surviving Winter Appeal, now in its 9th year, raised over £350,000, and supported over 2,000 households during the harshest winter months last year. Lives have already been saved, but there is much more still to do.

With a target of £1,000,000 for this year's appeal the aim is to ensure that many more people in our community don't suffer from the cold this winter.

Suffolk Community Foundation is asking you to pledge your Winter Fuel Payment to help those desperately in need of extra support this winter.

Citizens Advice Ipswich provides administration for Surviving Winter applications.

The money raised by the Surviving Winter Appeal will be used in two ways:

Support payments to those who need additional financial help to heat their homes properly, eat properly, stay active and keep in touch with their family and community. The payments will be distributed in partnership with local Citizens Advice.

Grants to local charities and groups with a track record of looking after older and vulnerable people to ensure they can continue to provide their support and services throughout the winter months.

Report Remove supports in removing unwanted online images 

# data[].attributes.subject
Report Remove supports in removing unwanted online images 

# data[].attributes.body
Report Remove is here to help young people under 18 in the UK to confidentially report sexual images and videos of themselves and remove them from the internet.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Content warning: This section includes graphic sexual descriptions.

A nude image must include one of the following to be removed:

nude or semi-nude sexual posing

someone nude or semi-nude touching themselves in a sexual way

any sexual activity involving a child

someone hurting someone else sexually

sexual activity that includes animals.

Where possible, it is better if you can upload the original image or video, or a copy of it, rather than a photograph of it on another screen. This helps IWF find the image more accurately.

If you want to report something that isn't a nude image or video to see if it can be taken down, you can see more information from Childline about deleting things shared online here. You can make a report to CEOP, the part of the police who are there to support children and young people online. You can always speak to a Childline counsellor.

Confirming your age with ID gives us more legal powers to remove images from as many places as possible. If you don't have ID or feel comfortable using it, we can still take down images, but from fewer places.

You can use the following ID to confirm your identity using Yoti:

passport or biometric residence permit

driving licence and provisional licence

Young Scot Card (Yoti app only)

CitizenCard (Yoti app only).

If you don't have any of these, you can get a young person's ID card. You'll be able to get this for £5 with the promo code NSPCC5. Make sure you choose 'Yoti CitizenCard' on the first page.

Whatever ID you use, please make sure that it is valid and in-date.

IWF will read all reports within one working day, from Monday to Friday. The time it takes to get your image removed from the internet can be different depending on where the image is hosted.

If the image is on a UK-based website it can often be removed within 2-3 hours. Unfortunately, in some countries it can take longer - sometimes days or weeks. But IWF analysts will always try to make sure it happens as soon as possible.

We'll do our best to let you know once your image has been removed by sending a message to your  Childline locker.

We recommend you check your locker every few days after you make a report. This is so you can see if your image has been removed, and so Childline can let you know if IWF need more information to be able to remove it. Remember, IWF can't contact you directly.

If you need support to help you cope while you're waiting, you can also speak to a Childline counsellor any time.

When you use Report Remove, your image or video is shared with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF). They'll work to get your image removed from the internet. See 'Who are the IWF?' to learn about how that happens.

Most of the time, nobody will know that you've made a report and your report won't be shared with anyone else.

If the police already have the image or video you report, then they might investigate what's happened. Only the police can decide if they'll need to tell someone else.

The police might already have your image or video if:

someone has reported it on another website and that website passed it to the police

they're investigating someone who had or has the image or video already (if someone is found to have your image and is breaking the law - regardless of how, it may be included as evidence in a criminal case against that person

someone else reported the image to them directly.

Remember that the police are there to protect you, not to get you into trouble. If the image has been reported somewhere else and you're worried, you can always  speak to a Childline counsellor.

If you have parental controls on your phone your parent or carer might see when you want to download a new app, so they might get a notification if you try to download Yoti and want to know why. To avoid this, use the second option to prove your age (called 'ID verification').

The IWF can remove images that are public or available to anyone on the internet. However, they won't be able to remove images or videos on encrypted networks like WhatsApp, or which are saved on a person's phone or computer.

If you're over 13 and you've made a report without using ID, then there may be some sites the IWF can't take images down from.

If you don't use ID the IWF can help by removing your image or video from most sites. If you do use ID, the IWF can remove from all sites

The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a UK charity, are there to help remove illegal nude images of under 18s posted online.

Once the IWF has confirmed your nude image is against the law and can be removed from the internet they give it a digital fingerprint called a 'hash'. The hash can be used to find your image online even if it has been cropped or slightly changed.

Sharing just the hash with certain trusted companies and organisations, means that technology can be used to find online matches of the image - this is key to trying to stop it appearing in different places on the internet. Even though the hashes and images are shared with UK police, this is so that if they came across the image some other way, they'd know that you also reported it yourself. Report Remove was developed with the full support of the police and no one involved wants to get you into trouble for sharing the image so it can be removed.

Different companies use the hash in different ways. For example, if an illegal image match is found to have been shared by an online account holder, a company may decide to close that person's account as posting illegal images will be against the company's terms and conditions. If your image(s) are found on or are linked to your online user account(s) it may be possible for the company to associate your profile with the images.

The companies that take the hashes trust the Report Remove process, however if they have significant concerns that the person in the image may not be the person who was age verified, they may get in touch with the IWF to raise their concerns.

There are 3 organisations that help you report your image using Report Remove. These are Childline, the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and also Yoti if you are 13 or older and choose to prove your age using ID. All of them have a responsibility to keep all of your personal information safe.

1. We'll ask you to choose your age range (under 13, 13-15, 16-17, 18 and over). If you're under 13, you'll go straight to step 3. If you're aged 13 or older, us at Childline will ask you if you have access to ID to prove your age. If you do, you'll be asked to visit Yoti. The only information we will share with Yoti is that you are wanting to prove your age to use Report Remove.

2. Once you prove your age using Yoti, you will come back to Report Remove on Childline. The only information Yoti will share with Childline is confirmation that you're younger or older than 18.

3. We'll then ask you to create or sign in to a Childline account. Then you'll go to the IWF website to share the content you want removed. Childline will only share the information below with IWF:

that you're younger than 18 (either confirmed by Yoti, or that you told us you are younger than 18),

the age range you selected at the start,

a unique number that is created when you use Report Remove.

4. After your report has been passed to the IWF, they will tell Childline if they were able to work to take the images or video down from the internet, and why. This is so Childline can let you know what happened. IWF may also tell Childline some information about what you reported, to help them know how best to support you and keep you safe. IWF will never share an image or video that you report with Childline.

Information you give to Childline
Any information you give Childline will always be treated carefully and in line with our  Privacy Policy. This means that any information you give us as part of Report Remove will only be used to help the IWF review your report and to keep you safe. This will include the age range that you select and a unique number that's created when you go onto the IWF website. We will not share any of your information with Yoti.
Information you give to IWF
The only information you will give to the IWF are the images, videos or URLs you report. There is space to add information such as where the image or video is on a webpage.

They will process this in line with their privacy policy.

Nude images and videos that IWF decide are illegal may be kept by the IWF for up to 2 years. This is because there is an agreement with the Police and CPS (Crime Prosecution Service), called a 'Memorandum of Understanding' (MOU). Illegal images are given a hash (a string of numbers that are like a digital fingerprint). The hash is shared with organisations such as technology companies who host online content, so that they can look for the image and take it down. The actual image is not shared with these companies. The image and the hash are shared with the police who store it on their Child Abuse Image Database. Any images or videos that they decide are not illegal may be kept for a maximum of 6 months for quality checking and any follow up questions. They will then be deleted. Sometimes, even if it's decided that the content isn't illegal, IWF can share the content URL with some industry members to see if they can take the content down.

If you report a URL (link to a webpage), and choose not to prove your age using ID, IWF will still check to see if the content is something they can take action on. If so IWF may share the URL with South West Grid for Learning (SWGfL), who are a charity who help people who have had intimate images of them shared online. SWGfL will never view the content on a URL that is shared with them. SWGfL send a notice to internet companies that host the webpage you reported, to tell them to take it down. This is because IWF can only send a notice to companies to take a specific webpage down when it is confirmed it is of a child. SWGfL can also send notice to take down content, but they do not need to prove it is of a child. This helps get your images or videos from even more places.

Childline will never see what pictures, videos or URLs you share with the IWF. The only information the IWF shares with Childline apart from your case number is whether or not they could take down your images or videos, and why, so we can let you know, as well as information about the image or video that you reported that will help Childline to support you and keep you safe.

Information you give to Yoti
You can choose to use Yoti to confirm your age if you're over 13. This may involve taking a selfie, so Yoti know it is you who are proving your age, and uploading a picture of some ID. Any personal data you send Yoti - like your photo, date of birth or address - is scrambled with a high level of encryption so that even if it was stolen, no one could use it to identify you. The only information Yoti shares with Childline is confirmation that you're under or over 18.

You can see Yoti's privacy policy here, and more information about their age portal here, which is what is used in Report Remove to prove your age.

If you're using the Yoti app, Yoti may use the selfie, month and year of birth you add to the Yoti app to improve its age estimation technology. You can opt out from this in the More> My Data> Biometric consent menu of the app.

There are lots of ways to get help with your report:

if you're having problems with Yoti, you can contact them directly in the app.

if you need any support with making your report send a message to Childline with the title 'Report Remove'.

Childline counsellors are always here for you and want to help. And you can  talk to them  about anything you're going through.
I have a technical issue, what should I do?

Try using your default browser and close private browsing if you're using the Yoti app.

See if you can log in to your locker and send an email to Childline explaining your problem and the team will be able to help.

Make sure the ID you're using is valid and in-date (not expired).

The Psychology in Schools Team provide various online workshops to watch at your leisure

# data[].attributes.body
Workshops include: Supporting children with anxiety, sleep, behaviour.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Our psychology in schools team run a program of parent workshops throughout the year to provide up to date advice and guidance on how parents and carers can support the young people in their life. All the workshops are recorded for you to watch at any time.

Use the hyperlinks below to find out more about the workshop and get the link to the video on YouTube:

The workshop is designed to explore some of the eating difficulties young people maybe facing at this time, to understand the way food can be used as a coping mechanism in times of stress, to address what a parent/carer can do that is helpful or not helpful, and importantly identify what are the red flags to alert a parent/carer to take action to get help, as well as where to get help. The workshop's focus is on providing easily accessible information in an interactive format which will encourage early intervention and prevention of the escalation of difficulties at this time.

View the video on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/93IRgw2VnOs

Life is always unpredictable, but we have been living with a much higher degree of uncertainty over this last year than is usual. This workshop will introduce strategies that parents/carers/professionals can support their young people to help them cope better with uncertainty now and in the years to come. Being able to adapt to situations by learning to tolerate emotions and cope with change reduces stress levels and is a great skill for life. This workshop is suitable for parents/carers of all children struggling in the current pandemic who would like to learn strategies they can teach their children to manage difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations. It is also helpful for professionals who might work with young people.

"What I will take away from tonight's session - Try to take the uncertain path instead of keeping to the safe route was new to me and I think will change my life and make my children's future better. Living life to the full instead of a half life like I feel has been the case".

View the video on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/e6sSkYLlll8

This workshop explores how we make sense of what we are all experiencing at the moment. It will consider the most significant challenges posed by the pandemic for both parents and young people (including anxiety and low mood) while also thinking about the most helpful ways to manage these challenges.

"I found your session so helpful as it made me feel that I am not alone as a parent, that we are all going through this together. It made me feel that actually 'I'm doing an ok job' and not to be too hard on myself. I found the biochemistry side of things fascinating and it was exactly the things that are happening with my son. It made me feel reenergised and to 'keep going'."

View the video on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/FzUrOntfbnU

This workshop is for parents of school aged children to help them understand anxiety better. The session covers: what is anxiety, why anxiety, how it effects the brain, how it effects the body, how it impacts on what we do and don't do and how parents can support their children/adolescents who might be struggling with anxiety.

"Connection over correction - its very difficult to do this and I often need reminding! ideas to help Children move from reassurance to self-assurance was useful as I'm often exhausted from having to reassure constantly!"

View the video on our YouTube channel: Anxiety in Adolescence - YouTube

All of our young people have days when they feel low, this is perfectly normal. Sometimes this low mood hangs around for a bit longer and starts to make it much more difficult for our young people to do the things that are important to them and have the kind of relationships they want to have with others. For us as parents it can be hard to spot these difficulties especially among all the other changes that are happening in adolescence. This workshop will help you to have a better understanding of why our young people are more vulnerable to low mood once they reach adolescence, the warning signs and some evidence based strategies to best support your young person.

View the video on our YouTube channel: Supporting Our Young People with Low Mood - Parent Workshop - YouTube

This workshop explores what resilience is and why it is important for our young people. The sessions focus on five key components to wellbeing and resilience and suggests practical support for our young people in each of these five areas. The workshop pays particular attention to the approaching summer holidays and the opportunities these offer.

Experiencing sleep difficulties at some stage in our lives is common. We know that children and young people can particularly struggle with their sleep. Sleep difficulties are not only frustrating, but they start to impact on our mood and everyday lives.

This sleep workshop is aimed at parents and carers who have children over 11 years old who may be experiencing difficulties with their sleep. The workshop, delivered by the Psychology in Schools Team, covers important topics such as:

why we need sleep

why teenagers may struggle more with this

what you can do to support your young person to have a better night's sleep

View the video on our YouTube channel: Supporting our Children and Adolescents with Sleep workshop - YouTube

During adolescence, the brain is going through some very big changes - these changes are positive and support our young people to make the transition into adulthood. However, these changes can be confusing and understanding what is happening in the teenage brain is incredibly helpful. This session will explore these brain changes and how they impact on all aspects of our adolescent's life, including mood, behaviour, risk taking and relationships. We will also explore what we can do to strengthen our relationships with our young people and support them through this period of development. With thanks to Dr Hazel Harrison for the brilliant brain house illustration.

Dr Hope Westgate and Dr Tamara Scully, Clinical Psychologists from NSFT, deliver a workshop for parents on 'supporting children to manage big feelings'. This workshop includes information on children's emotional development and what is happening in their brain when they are experiencing big emotions. It also provides practical and supportive guidance on what are some of the things that parents can do to support their children with the emotions they experience. This workshop is primarily aimed at parents of children who are under 12.

Our LGBT*Q+ Youth Groups provide young people with the opportunity to:

meet other LGBT*Q+ young people,

make new friends,

chat and relax,

take part in activities,

plan events,

have fun

and just be yourself in a safe accepting space!

Our experienced LGBT*Q+ Youth Worker can also help you with anything from:

coming out,

sexual health,

relationships,

school,

transitioning,

finding a job

or just someone to talk to if you need it - they are there for you.

We currently run our LGBT*Q+ Youth Group in:

Ipswich

we are aware of the need for further groups in Bury St Edmunds and Colchester and are actively applying for funding to be able to provide these to support young LGBT*Q+ people

What other LGBT*Q+ young people say about our LGBT*Q+ Youth Group ...

"It is the best youth group I have ever attended; everybody is friendly, I feel as if I fit in to the community, and people of all sexualities are there which means that I don't feel alone. It really helps me to cope with bullying I get at school and to make friends too." "It's been the best three years of my life. I couldn't envision my life without Outreach. I would have struggled so much without them." "From the first session I attended, my experience has been absolutely lovely. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and laden with jaffa cakes that I can only wish I found out about it sooner." What difference has our LGBT*Q Youth Groups made to young people? "I can now feel normal and accepted by society. I feel as if I have a place I can go to other than home and feel as if I fit in. It's really amazing to see how I've changed; before I was a gibbering wreck and now I am itching to support LGBT pride in any way I can! It's completely transformed me. I just love outreach youth." "It's been brilliant for me to meet other young lgbt+ people, and it's given me a lot more confidence in my sexual orientation. I know asexuality isn't accepted/believed in by a lot of people, even within the lgbt+ community, but everyone I've spoken to has been entirely supportive and accepting. It's also helped me work out how to come out to my parents and explain myself properly, which is something I'd delayed doing for quite a while because I didn't know how they'd react." "I've met people that I've become great friends with and those people actually care about me, it gives me a place to laugh and feel safe while also talking with other "I am much happier." If you want to come along to our LGBT*Q+ Youth Group: people who are interested in the same things that I am."

Following the announcement on Monday 4th January 2021 that the country will enter lockdown restrictions effective immediately, we'd like to remind you all that our services, although run a little differently, are still available. Here at Women's Aid we recognise that the renewed restrictions and guidance around self isolation remain an extremely worrying situation for those experiencing domestic abuse. For some, home is not the safe place it should be and having little to no contact with the outside world can feel very unsafe.

Although the way we run services has changed, we are still available for advice and support. We are still accepting referrals for all services, please click here to download a referral form - Freedom & Outreach Programme Referral

Should any women, children and young people need any advice and support in relation to Domestic Abuse please find useful contact numbers and websites below.
