Emotions Under Control: A Parent's Guide to Emotional Regulation

In exciting news, Girton Grammar School has partnered with Wellio this year.

Wellio helps students proactively improve their mental wellbeing using research-backed habits and techniques. Their programme supports students in improving their sleep, managing social media use, building healthy relationships, improving physical well-being, and reducing anxiety.

Alongside their work inside the classroom, Wellio also delivers a free webinar each term for parents. These sessions are designed to equip parents with practical tools to support the wellbeing of their children throughout the year.

The webinar for this term is titled Emotions Under Control: A Parent's Guide to Emotional Regulation. When children’s emotions run high, responding in a way that creates a positive outcome can be challenging. This session will explore key strategies to help you navigate those moments.

This 60-minute webinar is scheduled for Thursday 4 September, 6:30pm (AEST).

You can register at https://collections.humanitix.com/2025-parent-webinar-series.

Wellio will record the event. If you're interested in the topic but cannot attend, please register so that you can access the recording.
