CONNECT
In this one day LIVE conference you will discover:
What makes parenting hard, how your childhood experiences, stress influence your thoughts and actions towards your children. We will teach you how to ditch the overwhelm, meet your emotional needs, cultivate a deeper self-care practice and create more openness and authenticity in your life.
Practical, science-based tools to help you remain calm and become more mindful in those challenging situations. We will learn how to respond in the moment rather than react with the powerful 4 step C.A.L.M. formula that will shift how you parent.
Foster emotional health and resilience in your child
In the second part of our conference we'll focus on how children's emotions work. You'll learn powerful skills, science-based, effective tools to create emotional safety & support your children when they cry, throw a tantrum, whine or have a meltdown. You won't be puzzled anymore wondering:
- How to show empathy? How much?
- Intervene or leave them?
- How exactly to validate children's feelings?
- How to listen without judgement, rushing or minimizing children's feelings?
- What is co-regulation?
