From meltdown to connection: when kids don't get their way- Virtual Parent Workshop


Does your child ever meltdown when they don't get their way? Have you ever stopped at the grocery store to pick up dinner, and they refused to leave without candy, then yelled at you and caused a scene when you said No?

If you can relate, would you like to sign up to learn an innovative way to turn an intense standoff into a moment of connection and understanding?

In this 6 week 90-minute Zoom Group Program, you'll join other parents experiencing that you aren't alone in this challenging parenting journey. 

You will receive:
-A handout with scripts to handle difficult situations when your child doesn’t get their way.

-The common patterns of why this hard dynamic keeps happening.

-Skills your parents and teachers may not have known to teach you about emotional processing that are critical for healthy relationships.

-The Framework to change this challenging interaction to have a better outcome next time.

-A plan and the time to practice how you could show up differently during these intense moments of conflict, ensuring your child will as well.
