This workshop is appropriate if you have kids ages 2-10 years old. Dr. King and Dr. Boddy are both clinical psychologists and currently on the frontlines of motherhood to toddlers! This workshop teaches you how to handle kids BIG feelings, while also using a connected parenting framework. We will define connected parenting and the three components: Teach, Be curious, and Be Intentional. Managing big feelings and teaching kids how to manage their big feelings can be done all while keeping connection with your child at the center. This workshop is built on the premise that our job as caregivers is to teach children how to manage emotions in healthy ways. While BIG feelings can be frustrating, they are also developmentally appropriate and so is their skills deficit in not knowing how to handle them. Connected parenting with us being curious about their internal experience and then using strategies with intention to temper their BIG feelings. You’ll learn common reasons for big feelings, how to weave emotion regulation skills into daily life, and strategies for manage tantrums and to manage emotional overwhelm. These strategies will foster a greater connection with your child, increase their compliance, and leave you feeling more easily empowered as a parent.
