Welcome to the next episode of Talking Early Years!
In this episode, Hannah and Ellen are joined by Corinne and Char from CC Counselling and Art Therapy for an open and honest conversation about supporting children and young people as they navigate change, growth, and the journey towards adulthood.
Together, we explore the emotional, social and developmental challenges that can arise as children move through different stages of life, discussing how parents, carers and early years professionals can help build resilience, confidence and emotional wellbeing from the very beginning. Corinne and Char share their expertise as counsellors, offering valuable insights into children's mental health, emotional regulation, relationships and the importance of creating safe spaces where young people feel heard and understood.
Throughout the conversation, we reflect on the transition into adulthood and how the foundations laid in the early years can have a lasting impact on independence, identity and wellbeing later in life. We also discuss the role of communication, healthy relationships, self-esteem, creativity and therapeutic approaches in supporting children through periods of change, as well as the importance of recognising when additional support may be needed.
Rather than focusing on one specific topic, this episode is a wide-ranging discussion that encourages listeners to think about the whole child, considering both their emotional and developmental needs and how we can better prepare them for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
Whether you work in the early years sector, support children and families, are studying childcare, or are simply interested in children's emotional wellbeing, this episode offers practical insights, thoughtful discussion and plenty of ideas to reflect on.
