Description: Have you noticed that when your child’s stress levels rise, yours do, too? Or, when their behaviors escalate, yours escalate as well? Have you been caught in the trap of yelling, slamming doors, and hollering empty or extreme threats? This all makes sense. Brain science can help us understand these crazy dynamics we get stuck in with our children. Learn how to use this information to guide you through the toughest of moments. This session is for parents and caregivers of toddlers to teenagers.
Main Takeaways:
- Learn about brain states and reactions to stress based on science
- Understand that all behaviors make sense, even if we don’t like them
- Behaviors provide clues for what people are experiencing internally - learn to adjust your expectations based on these clues
- Learn how to build strong relationships that are built upon moments of connection
- Give yourself permission to be authentic, which means forgiving yourself when you mess up and react in negative ways
