Understand what’s going on beneath the big feelings — without pressure to “fix” everything.
Many parents worry that if they don’t step in right away, their child will “never calm down.” In reality, what children often need in those intense moments is connection and understanding more than quick solutions. During this event, you’ll discover ways to stay present and supportive without feeling like everything depends on you getting it right in the moment.
Respond to emotional storms proactively — in ways that protect your energy.
It’s easy to feel like staying calm means suppressing your own feelings or waiting until things get worse. We’ll explore how to notice early signs of off-track behavior and lean into connection sooner, so things feel more manageable and you have more room to breathe.
Support big feelings with playfulness and presence — while strengthening your relationship.
It can seem like you have to choose between “discipline” and “connection.” During this event, you’ll discover ways to support big feelings through listening, playfulness, and empathy — in ways that protect your connection and feel good for both of you.

After years of working with young children, I didn't expect becoming a parent would be so difficult.
"The tears and tantrums, getting a good night's sleep or get ready to leave the house every day felt really overwhelming. Hand in Hand Parenting not only gave me practical Tools I could try out immediately that made our relationship closer and the tricky moments go more smoothly but it helped me figure out how to build the support I needed to make long term changes to support myself and our family as my son grew."
