Wednesday, 26th November - Microsoft Teams - 12:00 - 13:00

This session is for anyone living or working with children who wants to understand how everyday interactions with animals can support emotional development. Whether you have dogs, cats, rabbits, or chickens, animals can offer grounding, connection, and a sense of calm in chaotic moments.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to spot everyday moments at home that naturally support emotional regulation and bonding with your child. We’ll share simple, structured activities using pets to boost learning and wellbeing, while also exploring why boundaries and safety still matter when working with animals at home. You’ll also pick up ideas for reducing screen time, tension, and conflict through animal connection.
