Is This Workshop for You?
This workshop is designed for professionals who work with children and families, including:

If you’re passionate about making a difference in how children process emotions, navigate challenges, and express themselves creatively, this workshop is for you.
The Creative-Constructive Identity
Unlike traditional approaches that focus primarily on managing behavior or addressing trauma as an endpoint, KidSoma shifts the focus toward restoring a child's creative-constructive identity.
Through three interconnected pillars—bonding, constructing, and facilitating—KidSoma equips practitioners to:
- Rebuild trust and connection with children during moments of challenge in their construction.
- Guide children through creative processes that enhance autonomy and resilience.
- Facilitate the dynamic between bonding and constructing to restore organic developmental progress.
KidSoma doesn't focus on what's "wrong"; it explores the untapped potential within every child.
What’s New: The KidSoma Method
Over the years, Alé Duarte’s approach has evolved to address the growing complexities of working with children in today's world. Here’s what’s new:
- Expanded Focus on Creativity: KidSoma places greater emphasis on fostering original ideas and helping children construct their identity through intentional action.
- Dual-Focus for Practitioners: Tools to balance relational bonding and constructive processes for integrated growth.
- Neuro-Affective Insights: Inspired by Jaak Panksepp’s work, KidSoma incorporates PLAY, SEEKING, and CARE systems into its framework.
- Adapted to Modern Challenges: Addresses the impacts of digital environments, diminished self-regulation, and the need to understand children’s intentions in complex contexts.
What You Will Gain
By participating in this 3-hour workshop, you will:
- Discover transformative principles to revolutionize your approach to supporting children.
- Develop actionable tools to address constructive blocks and build trust.
