The Glitter bottle is one of our favourite exercises and we go through it in detail on the course. It's so incredibly simple and yet so powerful. It gives children a visual and clear understanding of what's going on in their brains and can help them to process their big emotions!

Do you relate to this?

  • You feel helpless when it comes to supporting your child(ren) or charge(s) with their emotional health; you see their upset, their hurt, their anger, their frustration but you don’t know how to help?

  • The lack of confidence in your little one is exhausting. They cling to you, are scared to play with others and you have no idea how to make it better. 

  • You’ve read so much in the news and on social media about crippling anxiety in teens and young people, and want to do everything in your power to ensure your child(ren) or charge(s) doesn’t become another statistic.

  • You’re interested in psychology and want to learn more about how to support the children in your life. 

  • The way you’re currently dealing with your child(ren)s or charge(s) emotions isn’t working. Their behaviour is getting worse, they’re closed off to you and you don’t know which way to turn.

You are not alone.

This is something all caregivers experience. And yet, things can be SO different.

You can feel empowered and able to support your child(ren) or charge(s) with their emotions.

You can create your very own tool kit of resources to support you and your child as you navigate their emotional health.

You can forgive yourself for not noticing things until now and take positive steps to get the child on the right track. 

You can feel supported and guided as you navigate children’s emotional health.

You can develop your knowledge and not only understand what is happening but have a variety of strategies up your sleeve. 

You can feel confident and capable in spotting the signs and taking early action.

If this sounds good to you, then read on.

Meet the team...

Hi! I’m Jo, I’m the Founder of Freckles Childcare which specialises in training nannies.

I started as a nanny when I was 18 years old, working with a family with 4 children (13,11, 7 & 4 - where my 7 year old was severely disabled and was like having a baby). To say I threw myself in head first is an understatement!

At the age of 12, one of my children began self harming and it threw my world into disarray. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know why. I didn’t know how to help. I felt that I failed her and let her down. And I would do anything, anything, to change it.

As a result when I launched Freckles a few years later I partnered with Dr Maryhan and together we wrote the Children’s Emotional Health course.

I funded for every single one of the nannies we placed to do the training and now years later I am excited to have brought it fully online to reach more nannies, more families, more individuals and ultimately positively impact more children. 

It is never too late to change a life.

This is Dr Maryhan, child psychologist, Mum of 2 and anxiety and confidence specialist.

Dr Maryhan has been working with Freckles since 2017. She is the founder of Dr Maryhan and RAW Parenthood, well known podcaster and speaker.

Her straight talking, relatable, jargon free and positively infectious personality make her a psychologist like no other. She makes you feel like you get it, she meets you where you are and shows you that it can be different. 

Dr Maryhan teaches the Children's Emotional Health Course and her expertise, approachable attitude and passion for her industry make her an incredible teacher to learn from.

Together, we have developed the Children’s Emotional Health Course.

  • A practical, intensive course that you can study in your own time. The course is jam packed with tools, resources and practical activities to do.

  • Each activity comes with a download, with equipment requirements and instructions on how to use. 

  • It is time for the lack of knowledge, and feelings of not doing enough to get gone. It’s time for you to expand your knowledge and understanding and to feel empowered to support children with their emotions in a way you’ve not done before.

The Glitter bottle is one of our favourite exercises and we go through it in detail on the course. It's so incredibly simple and yet so powerful. It gives children a visual and clear understanding of what's going on in their brains and can help them to process their big emotions!

What you can expect to learn:

This course is the only course like it. It is jam packed with content and knowledge. Downloads, links and practical exercises to ensure you not only learn, but understand and can successfully implement the teachings we cover.

These are some of the things you’ll cover…

  • What actually is Children’s Emotional Health: you’ll get to grips with what we’re dealing with and what we’re addressing.

  • Anxiety: anxiety is incredibly prevalent in today's world, with at least 1 in 8 children developing a severe anxiety disorder - it’s time to understand it and have the strategies on hand to prevent as well as cure. 

  • Confidence: children are lacking in confidence in a way like never before. They don't believe in themselves, or their capabilities - this course will help you to change that.

  • Resilience: our children are less resilient than before - this is through no fault of their own but resilience is key to success and living a full and happy life. It’s something we need to get right. 

  • Chronological age vs developmental age: two different measures of age, why we have them, why they matter and why you need to be able to identify them in a child. 

  • The signs of anxiety: you’ll get taught about the different signs of anxiety, so you can see them, anticipate them and ultimately take action earlier. 

  • Talking to children about anxiety: you’ll master how to not only explain anxiety to children but also how to talk to them when they are anxious so that they feel supported, heard, safe and loved. 

  • Different management techniques: from understanding Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs) to the Hot Chocolate Technique, as well as the Inner Critic and Cheerleader, you’ll cover a variety of techniques, all designed to empower you to support the child(ren) in your life. 

  • Spotting the signs of low self-confidence: low confidence and self-esteem is endemic amongst children and something that needs to be tackled head on. You’ll learn how to spot the signs and crucially how to support a child in developing their confidence and self esteem so they flourish in life.

  • Grit, growth mindset and the power of yet: through these topics you’ll learn how to support children in a variety of ways to build their confidence and self esteem. 

  • Building a practical toolkit: you’ll actually build a practical toolkit of activities that you can do with a child. This course is so much more than just about knowledge. It’s about equipping you with the knowledge, skills and resources to take action to change a child's life now. (You can buy a full toolkit here >>)

And, there is SO much more too. 

With over 7 years experience in teaching this course, years of experience from Dr Maryhan working 1-1 with children and over a decade of nannying experience with Jo the course has been tweaked and improved time and time again to ensure you get the best experience. An experience (and course) filled with useful information. In a way that empowers you and doesn’t overwhelm you. In a way that is accessible and understandable.

How can you expect to feel on

completing the course?

  • Empowered

  • Capable

  • Informed

  • Confident in yourself

  • Equipped to handle different situations

We know that the single best way to support children with their emotional health is through prevention rather than cure. It’s to nip things in the bud early on, it’s about spotting the signs and having the confidence to take action, it’s about knowing the language to use (and not use). 

If you truly want to impact a child’s life it’s about educating yourself now for their future. 

However...

  • It is never too late to make changes.

  • It is never too late to learn and adjust your approach.

  • It’s never too late to introduce the glitter bottle or another strategy.

Even the smallest change can have the biggest impact. It’s like a pebble in a lake.

The pebble is small, the ripples go on.

What others have to say...

I loved the course, it was insightful and interesting.

I really enjoyed how in depth the course is and how educational it felt. I loved learning about and doing the different activities.

Dr Maryhan’s delivery was incredible, super engaging! Which is even more impressive online!

Dr Maryhan is fascinating. I especially enjoyed the anxiety module.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and loved learning about the different techniques to support children in overcoming their big feelings. I loved how the tools will involve the child too. Having created all these resources (I bought the toolkit) fills me with more confidence going into my first nannying role.

Dr Maryhan is SO passionate that you can’t help but enjoy her teaching!

I loved learning about how your confidence can affect your mental health and the way you approach different situations as it was all new to me.

I loved how practical this course is. Creating the toolkit is so helpful and shows how it can have a big impact on a child.

What you get when you enrol:

01

Step by Step

Broken down into 3 modules; each with 3 - 9 bite sized videos, you’ll be taken through Children’s Emotional Health in a practical and logical manner.

You’ll cover all the content in easy bite sized chunks, supported with practical learning elements. All of which you can return to whenever you like.

Your Own Toolkit

During the course you’ll go through 5 different activities to support a child with their emotional health.

You’ll cover the activity in detail and there is a download to go alongside it. We do this because actions speak louder than words. Children like to visualise things, it makes their emotions and feelings tangible and creates structure or support that they know they can lean on.
