Workshops
Workshops and Groups
Interactive, facilitated learning for parents, educators and community groups.
Little Resilience Co. workshops help participants understand the wider systems shaping behaviour, relationships and everyday family life.
Each session combines focused learning, facilitated discussion and practical application to real situations.
Who the workshops are for
Workshops can be designed for:
Parent groups
Preschools and early childhood centres
Community organisations
Support networks
Professional teams working with families
Private groups
Example topics
Each workshop can be adapted to the needs of the group. These are examples of the topics available.
Understanding behaviour in context
Looking beyond the visible behaviour to the child, adult, environment, demands and patterns shaping the situation.
Capacity and access to skills
Why a child or adult may know what to do but struggle to access that ability under pressure.
Emotional intelligence in everyday family life
How emotions influence interpretation, decision-making, communication and relationships.
Curiosity before judgement
How assumptions about intention shape adult responses, and how to pause before deciding what behaviour means.
Boundaries, empathy and accountability
How to understand the person without removing appropriate limits or responsibility.
Communication and interaction patterns
How repeated responses between people can strengthen or reduce conflict over time.
Parent capacity and decision-making under pressure
How load, stress and available capacity influence what parents can access in demanding moments.
Transitions, change and environmental demands
How tasks, timing, expectations and surroundings can increase or reduce pressure.
How the workshops work
Workshops are interactive and discussion-based rather than lecture-led.
A focused concept is introduced, followed by facilitated reflection, practical examples and application to the group's context. Participants are invited to contribute, but no one is required to disclose personal experiences.
