Decoding Your Child's Body Language Course
Fostering a soulful connection through understanding and empathy
When your child's behaviour leaves you wondering “Why?”, this course helps you look beyond the behaviour, understand the cues and discover what they may be communicating.
See the cue. Hear the story. Make the connection.
• Sleep that continues to feel unsettled
• Big emotions or reactions you weren't expecting
• Clinginess, resistance or withdrawal
• Behaviours you simply can't make sense of
• Finding yourself wondering what your child really needs
What if, rather than trying to change the behaviour, you became curious about what might be happening beneath it?
That's where Decoding Your Child's Body Language begins.
Does this sound familiar?
By the end of the course, you’ll be better able to…
• Look beyond behaviour and consider what your child may be communicating
• Recognise body cues and signs of stress
• Respond with greater calm, curiosity and confidence
• Notice how your own responses can influence connection
• Create more opportunities for understanding, compassion and connection
Over 40 years of experience supporting babies, children and families
Created by Anne Matthews — Author, Educator, Mentor and Creator of the Wholesomely Connected Blueprint™.
Drawing on more than 40 years of working with babies, children and families, Anne brings together bodywork, Pre- & Perinatal Education, nervous system awareness, Baby Body Language and reflective parenting.
At the heart of her work is a simple invitation: to look beyond behaviour with greater curiosity, understanding and connection.
See the cue. Hear the story. Make the connection.
This isn’t about quick fixes or simply trying to change behaviour.
It’s a deeper exploration into your child’s world — and your own.
Many parenting approaches focus on the behaviour we can see. This course invites you to look beneath it and become curious about what your child’s body and nervous system may be communicating.
Through a reflective, compassionate and practical approach, you’ll begin to understand your child in a different way — and feel more confident responding to what they may need.

-
Decoding Your Child’s Body Language is a 10-module online course designed to help you look beyond behaviour and become more curious about what your child may be communicating through their body, emotions and responses.
Through short videos, reflective prompts, real-life parent stories, guided meditations and practical ideas, you’ll explore early experiences, nervous system regulation and your own responses as a parent — with greater understanding, compassion and connection.
-
The course is fully online and self-paced. Each module includes short videos alongside reflective prompts, practical ideas from your Guiding Backpack, and opportunities to pause and integrate what you are learning.
I recommend allowing around a week for each module rather than rushing through the course. You’ll have lifetime access, so you can return to it whenever you need to.
-
The course is for parents and carers who want to understand more about the story behind their child’s behaviour — from the earliest months through the childhood years.
It may be particularly helpful if you find yourself wondering “Why does my child respond like this?”, or if you want to explore how pregnancy, birth, early experiences and nervous system responses may influence the way your child communicates and experiences their world.
-
Rather than offering quick fixes or strategies simply to change behaviour, this course invites you to become curious about what may lie beneath it.
Drawing on Anne’s more than 40 years of experience working with babies, children and families, the course brings together Baby Body Language, Pre- & Perinatal Education, nervous system awareness and reflective parenting through the Wholesomely Connected Blueprint™.

There are three ways to take the course.
The Self-Study Course (£97) includes the 10 modules, guided meditations, reflective prompts and lifetime access.
The Course + Reflective Workbook (£147) adds the guided reflective workbook, additional reflection exercises and a digital copy of Anne’s book.
The Wholesomely Connected Programme (£297) includes everything above, together with two individual online mentoring sessions with Anne, giving you dedicated space to explore your questions, observations and learning.
-
Individual online mentoring with Anne is included in the Wholesomely Connected Programme.
These sessions provide an opportunity to reflect on what you are noticing, explore questions arising from the course and consider your child's cues and responses through the Wholesomely Connected approach.
I'd stop there rather than promising that Anne will “tailor guidance to your family's needs”, because mentoring and reflection describe what you're offering much more appropriately.
-
You’ll have lifetime access to the course materials, including the videos, meditations, reflective prompts and downloads.
That means you can revisit particular modules as your child grows, circumstances change, or something you learned earlier suddenly takes on new meaning.
-
No. The course is designed to stand alone.
Anne’s book, What is My Child Telling Me, That I’m Not Getting…Yet?, complements the course and offers further stories and insights into understanding the communication behind children’s behaviour. A digital copy is included with the Course + Reflective Workbook and Wholesomely Connected Programme options.
