Get into Gear
Get into Gear is a simple, practical framework that gives you and your child a shared language for regulation using “gears.” It helps you spot early signs of rising stress, respond with steady, neutral support, and guide your child back to a balanced, grounded state where they feel safe
.
Through clear strategies, you’ll learn to ease anxiety and support your child to develop strategies to return to a calm and balanced state. You’ll also know what helps in a meltdown, prioritising safety and quiet presence, to reduce conflict over time.

Creating safety and belonging for every learner
We explore what it means to hold a space where every child and young person can feel safe, respected and able to engage on their own terms.
Drawing on lived experiences and practical strategies, the training reframes challenging behaviours not as opposition, but as communication of safety needs - a vital shift in perspective for any inclusive practice. Using materials from The Wild Ways Inclusion Guide, practitioners will be invited to work through approaches that put emotional safety, autonomy and co-regulation at the centre of the educational process.
Suitable for all professionals working with children and young people.
