The Emotionally Healthy Child: Mindset + Habits

Understanding how children think, and what you can do to help them become emotionally healthier is the topic of this talk! Program tailored to your audience children, tweens and teens.

Emotional health is widely misunderstood.
When adults (parents, teachers, and professionals) learn the ideas and strategies of positive emotional health things get easier.
Cultivating a mindset of emotional health is key for long-term health.
Explaining things to children – in age appropriate ways, helps them grasp how emotions work, and what they can do with them (especially the tough ones!).
Emotional health is a precursor for happiness, and every adult (parent, teacher) wants their children to become happier.

Emotional Balance: The Whole Brain Approach

Emotional health is the skill of balance. Maureen inspires audiences by sharing how the whole brain approach facilitates emotional health, and intelligence in today’s children.

Children who learn to make decisions from a whole brain approach make better choices, especially regarding their emotional well-being.
Maureen shares how to help creative (right brain) children bring their logic (left brain) online sooner, and vice versa.
Boys and girls (and us adults too!) who can make integrated choices (right and left brain) can learn to find emotional balance, reset themselves, and make choices from a calmer place.
Understanding the science of emotional balance and learning new strategies to help your children develop those much-needed skills sets them up for positive life experiences.
