Teaching children to understand their emotions isn’t just about managing behaviour.

It’s about prevention.

It’s about helping children recognise when their brain and body are overwhelmed.

It’s about understanding fight, flight and freeze, rather than simply reacting to what we see.

It’s about giving children the knowledge, language and practical strategies to manage difficult feelings before those feelings become harder to manage.

It’s about building emotional resilience, healthier relationships, confidence and a sense of belonging.

Because children who understand what’s happening inside them are better equipped to navigate what’s happening around them.

At The Parachute Project, we believe emotional education should be as fundamental as learning to read and write.

We don’t just want to change behaviour. We want to change what children understand about themselves.

And that starts early.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎬👻 Something strange has been happening at The Parachute Project…

This week, Paul from joined our Launch Pad group (children not in formal education), and together they made their very own one-minute Halloween horror film!

Our young people weren’t just the stars of the film. They came up with the storyline, helped direct the action, planned the jump scares and worked together to bring their ideas to life.

⚠️ ⚠️Be warned,there is a jump scare in the final frame! ⚠️ ⚠️

We couldn’t recommend Paul and The Offshoot Foundation enough. They use filmmaking and creative experiences to give young people opportunities to develop confidence, communication, teamwork and self-expression.

What we particularly loved was Paul’s approach. Some of our young people can find social situations and group activities challenging, but he made everyone feel completely at ease. He was flexible, relaxed and put absolutely no pressure on anyone to participate beyond what they felt comfortable with.

And that’s what it’s all about for us. Meeting young people where they are, giving them opportunities to try something different, take creative risks, have fun and discover what they’re capable of.

Real-life skills, meaningful experiences and a little bit of Halloween horror! 🎃

We’ve now got something the group can build on together over the coming weeks, and we’re looking forward to seeing where their creativity takes them.

And finally, for anyone new here… The Parachute Project remains a perfectly safe, welcoming and definitely not haunted place to visit 🤪 There have also been absolutely no reports of Abi acting suspiciously… 👀
