Supporting Self-Regulation in Children, Teens, and Ourselves
Upcoming Dates: TBD
WHAT CAN WE DO?
Your toddler hits their sibling
Your high schooler storms off
Chore lists have become battle zones
Your tween’s mood swings have everyone exhausted
At dinner time everyone is crying
At bedtime massive meltdowns hit
And all you just want to clock out
How do we support our kids in learning
to care for their fluctuating emotions?
And, how do we do that for ourselves?
- Do you want more support in knowing how to help your child regulate their emotions?
- Do you want tools to know how to regulate your own emotions as a parent when the going gets tough?
- Recent neuroscience and parenting research has shown us that knowing how to regulate our emotions is not actually that difficult once we know a few simple tools. It has also been shown that these tools are foundational for setting our children up for a lifetime of meaningful and rewarding connections – including with us as their folks! – and with knowledge of how to protect themselves in settings where they need to hold boundaries and advocate for the support they need to take care of themselves.
- Whether your child is a toddler, in grade school, or heading off to college, join me as we explore how to practice and impart tools of self-awareness and self-regulation with the ones we love.
During these 90 minutes, you’re invited to:
- Discover the 3 main autonomic nervous system pathways that influence behavior
- Explore your own stress physiology in fight, flight, freeze as a reaction to your child/teen
- Consider self-regulation and co-regulation strategies
- Reframe disruptive actions and attitudes as protective, adaptive defenses through the process of neuroception
