About
Discover the secret to fostering a sense of security in children with our "Deep Dive into the Safety Cup" workshop. Built on the revolutionary Phoenix Cups Framework, this session explores how everyone, including children, has a need for Safety they strive to fill. By understanding the drive behind the Safety Cup, you can better support children in learning how to meet their needs in ways that respect others.

Exploration of children's basic physiological needs for Sleep and Rest, Food and Water, Exercise and Movement as well as the impact on children's mental, physical and emotional health is considered with latest research and evidence provided.
