On June 30th 2022 Carolien gave a lecture at the Euregionaal Congresburo (ECB) online conference on over-questioning, stress and burn-out in children and adolescents.
In her talk, she discussed the role of emotion awareness and emotion regulation in the development of a burn out, explaining how these mechanisms can decide whether a child identifies a demanding situation as stressful, or as a challenge. With increasing pressures for young people due to societal demands, bullying, financial problems (etc.) in mind, the conference invited speakers from science and practice to share their knowledge on the topic and advance our understanding of, and solutions for early life stress.
