Your sensitive child thrives when they are parented DIFFERENTLY than a non-HS child...

Helping Your Child Manage Their Emotions
From toddler tantrums to teen angst, in this class you will learn how to help your child navigate dealing with negative emotions in a healthy way and how to react to your child’s feelings in a way that is supportive, peaceful, and confident. When your child is in pain or is acting out, you feel helpless, sad, angry, frustrated and lost as to how to help them. In this class, you will learn tools to help your child process emotion in a healthy way, so they can feel validated and learn the invaluable skill of dealing with pain and disappointment in life. You will also discover how to manage your own feelings surrounding your child’s challenging emotions so that you can show up as the calm, accepting, loving parent that you want to be.

Calm Confident Parenting
Do you struggle with being too reactive to your kids? Do they trigger you more than you’d like? Are you yearning to feel more in control around them? Do you just want to feel like you know what you are doing as a parent more? In this workshop you will learn what prevents you from being calm and confident in your parenting, how to stop parenting emotionally, and instead start solving problems, how to start influencing your kids and stop controlling them so they want to cooperate more often, how to stop reacting and start deciding how you want to respond to them, how to step into calm confident leadership so your kids respect, listen, and trust you and how to crack the kid code and get into their heads when they act out so you can reduce misbehavior and improve your relationship.

Raising Responsible Independent Kids
You want your kids to do their chores, pick up after themselves and take care of themselves without you having to ask (or asking only once). You want your kids to say sorry, take responsibility for their mistakes and think about others and their feelings. You want them to do their homework, get good grades, be independent, and motivated. All of this requires your kids to feel COMPETENT so they have CONFIDENCE to do what they need to do. During this workshop, I will help you to be kind and firm with your kids, and stop doing things for them, so they can gain competence and confidence in themselves.

Building Self-Esteem and Confidence in your Children
In this parenting workshop, you will discover how you as the parent can help increase your child’s self-esteem and confidence, giving them the best chance at reaching their full potential in life. Good self-esteem helps us to create the life we want, face life’s challenges with resilience, have good relationships, and enjoy happiness and success in career and personal life. In this class, you will discover how you can play an integral role in helping your children become successful, emotionally healthy adults.

Parenting with Positive Discipline
Do you find yourself constantly yelling and nagging your kids to listen, and it still doesn’t work? Then Positive Discipline is for you! Positive Discipline is a parenting philosophy that encourages children to think for themselves, become more responsible, and have greater respect for themselves and others. The teachings of Positive Discipline are filled with non-punitive and non-permissive methods that will build relationships and keep the lines of communication open. Parenting the PD way encourages more cooperation, trust, problem solving, confidence building and connection. In this class, you will learn how to speak to your kids without yelling or nagging, so they will cooperate more easily.

Positive Discipline for Toddlers
Toddlers are meant to explore, be curious and push boundaries. But how do you allow them to learn and develop into independent beings while getting them to cooperate, stop throwing tantrums, and overall not run your house? During this workshop, I will teach you positive discipline tools that you can use to get your toddlers to listen WHILE honoring their curiosity and helping them to develop into emotionally self aware kids.

How to Follow Through with What You Say to Your Kids
Are you struggling to follow through after your grand plan to improve your parenting blows up in your face? Is it sometimes just easier to give in and not enforce the rule just so your kid stops whining? If this sounds like you, know you are not alone. All reasonable humans would not want to purposefully upset kids and then have to live with the backlash. It’s just NOT FUN. But what’s also not fun is kids who are overwhelmed because there’s no safe limits. Parents who do everything for their kids and cater to their emotions. Kids who don’t learn about responsibility, how to handle disappointment, and how to do things that are uncomfortable. In this workshop, you will learn how to follow through and overcome your brain’s desire to give in without distressing your or your kids, and in a way that is sustainable and long lasting.

Managing Sibling Conflict

Do you get so stressed out when your kids fight? Do you worry they’re never going to stop? Do you feel powerless when they do? In this workshop, I will teach you how to de-escalate sibling fights, encourage healthy communication and conflict resolution between your kids, give them tools to work through conflict with you intervening, and to reduce the amount of fights your kids have through teaching you tools and emotional self-regulation for you and your kids.
