Workshop in Sharjah on handling negative emotions in children

Sharjah - A two-day workshop addressed behavioural and emotional issues relating to children

A workshop organised by Sharjah Ladies Club (SLC) gave expert guidance to mothers looking for some help to handle their little ones' challenging behaviour.
The two-day workshop at the Collage Talent Centre Library, the SLC's hive of creativity and learning, which ends today, is themed The Role of Family in Education.
As part of its vision to promote social inclusion and community cohesion, the SLC's Collage Talent Centre organised the special training course to provide parents with support in dealing with stressful episodes created by their children.
Held at SLC's headquarters in Sharjah, the workshop featured Hamsa Younes who addressed behavioural and emotional issues relating to children, such as how to manage their anger and how to inculcate positive behaviour throughout the different phases of their lives.
The course focused on situations that can trigger negative emotions, such as clear or repressed anger, as well as discussed children's relationships with family members and peers. It provided mothers with training on behaviour management techniques and taught them how they can show their children how to recognise unpleasant situations and how to effectively respond to them.
The training course also addressed the influence of the Internet, video games and digital devices on children's temperament and attention spans, discussing the amount of engagement that children should have with modern technology and the level of exposure that is considered healthy throughout the different phases of their childhood.
The role of family in education training course forms part of a programme of social activities organised and hosted by SLC's Collage Talent Centre, which also functions to discover the talents and develop the skills of SLC's members and visitors.
The centre was established to be the perfect venue for promoting and nurturing artistic talent through its provision of a variety of classes, which include pottery making, jewellery making, ceramic flower arrangement, art, music, cooking, etiquette, and more.
