🌟 Fact or Fiction 🌟

When kids understand their emotions, they do better! 💡

Our Fact or Fiction group helps children go beyond the basics of “happy, sad, angry, scared” and truly explore:
✨ The science behind the brain & emotions (through games, hands-on learning & videos)
✨ Myths about feelings, thoughts & interactions with others
✨ How emotions impact friendships & handling tricky social moments
✨ How self-image and confidence shape everyday life

With guidance from skilled clinicians, kids learn practical strategies to:
💬 Manage emotions with support from adults
🤝 Build stronger social connections
💪 Strengthen confidence & self-competency

The result? A boost in emotional regulation, friendships, and overall wellbeing. 🌱

From emotional regulation to social skills, our evidence-based group programs are designed to nurture growth, connection, and wellbeing. 💜

📅 We run multiple programs throughout the year at our North Lakes & Stafford clinics.
💚 We're highlighting a different group program each week! Learn more & explore our group programs through the link below: https://youngmindsnetwork.com.au/group.../childrens-groups/

This blog post looks at:
🧠 The psychology behind anger in children
🌱 Common triggers for explosive behaviour
💬 Practical, evidence-based strategies for calmer responses
🤝 How to strengthen connection during tough moments

🐠 Scuba Sam’s Social Adventures!🐠

Some kids need a little extra support learning the building blocks of friendship — things like taking turns, joining in, and reading social cues.

🤝 In this fun and supportive program, children learn key social skills through structured teaching and play-based practice.

💬 With adult “coaches” by their side, they get real-time feedback and encouragement to help new skills stick.

🌊 As confidence grows, kids feel more connected, capable, and motivated in their friendships — both in clinic and in everyday life.

From emotional regulation to social skills, our evidence-based group programs are designed to nurture growth, connection, and wellbeing. 💜
