Expanding the Window of Tolerance Webinar
Learn how to recognise when children are becoming overwhelmed, understand what sits beneath their behaviour, and develop practical strategies that help expand their capacity for learning, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.
The Window of Tolerance – or as we prefer to call it, the Window of Capacity – is a concept developed by Dr Dan Siegel that describes the optimal zone where a person can manage stress, process information, and function effectively. For children, understanding their window of capacity can be a powerful tool in recognising, understanding, and regulating their emotions.
When children are within their window of capacity, they are more likely to feel calm, focused, connected, and able to cope with everyday challenges. When they move outside this window, they may become overwhelmed, anxious, reactive, or shut down completely. Understanding these responses helps adults support children with greater empathy and effectiveness.
This webinar explores how children can learn to recognise their own signs of stress and develop practical strategies to return to a place of balance. From simple regulation techniques to a deeper understanding of the nervous system, you’ll gain approaches that can be used immediately at home, in schools, and in therapeutic settings.
