The Safety Cup™

A webinar with Elise Waghorn from Phoenix Support for Educators

Are you an early childhood educator working with children who:

  • Are emotional;
  • Have separation anxiety;
  • Use a high pitched cry;
  • Bite excessively;
  • Are withdrawn; or
  • Are not settling during the day? 


Learn how to confidently respond to these behaviours by increasing every child's sense of security.

This workshop will enable you to have a deeper knowledge of how to support children to fill their Safety Cup™.

The Safety Cup is the drive to get our physiological needs met as well as the need for psychological safety. This Cup is filled by health, wellness, and other bodily needs (food, water, sleep, shelter, etc), as well as emotional safety such as trust, structure, order, and predictability.

This course will give you practical strategies and more confidence to plan for children's holistic wellbeing and ensure children in your care have a strong sense of security.

Link theory, research, and evidence to your practice and planning

This course will show you how to incorporate the following theories into your planning

  • Maslow's hierarchy of needs

    In his famous 1943 paper, Maslow talked about safety-seeking behaviour. He places the need for Safety as one of the most important basic human life needs. The Safety Cup considers the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy, Physiological needs and Safety needs.

  • The Phoenix Cups®

    A shared language, an approach, a revolutionary framework. The Phoenix Cups is a philosophical framework that your team can use to share ideas, language, and understandings about human behaviour. This course looks specifically at one of The Phoenix Cups - The Safety Cup.
