What difference can you make to a child who has complex emotional or relational challenges?

"Every day, I never wanted to leave my mum or my dad. I always used to cry."

Aimee used to be gripped by an anxiety that filled her with fear at the thought going to school. Her parents considered it a miracle if she came in for a full week and, heartbreakingly, they felt like they couldn't even go on holiday together because of Aimee's anxieties.

Then Aimee met her TLG Early Intervention coach, Ntombi, and things started to change. Dramatically.

The Emotional Rollercoaster webinar and resource will give you some of the indepth understanding and tools that TLG use to support a child like Aimee.

"Research demonstrates that a child's social and emotional wellbeing is predictive of a range of positive life outcomes. Yet childhood mental ill-health is rising and occurring earlier. The good news is that children can learn habits and concepts that build resilience and boost feeling happy. This book helps children explore those ideas and build their skills in lots of fun and creative ways" ~ Vanessa King
