Regulated, connected kids who
feel safe behave well.
We all need connection to
survive in life.
If your child is behaving in a way that makes us not want to be connected to them, we can pause and ask “What’s up with that?”
You’ll become equipped with interventions, tools, and techniques - that actually work! With this no-shame, no blame approach to parenting, you’ll finally understand why knowing is only half the battle. The course is strategically designed so you don’t just learn a bunch of parenting tools and techniques, that ultimately fall to the wayside. By the end of this course, you’ll actually be able to DO the powerful techniques you’ll learn.
This course will benefit all parents but is especially offered for parents of kids with vulnerable nervous systems and baffling behaviors. This includes children with a history of trauma and toxic stress (including foster care and adoption), as well as children who are neurodivergent, gifted, have sensory processing differences, or neuroimmune disorders. You might not know why your child has a vulnerable nervous system, and that’s OK. This course is for you, too.
Here’s what you need to know…
To change children’s behaviors, we will look for ways to increase regulation, connection, and felt-safety.
This course is for you. And you. And YOU!
What’s Included?
A community of people also struggling with children who have big baffling behaviors. You are not alone.
2o hours of live instruction, discussion and coaching.
Comprehensive 86-page workbook with many visuals to support you in integrating these new ideas.
Small private Facebook community for past and present participants. The community doesn’t end with the completion of the course.
TWO Being With Course Facilitators with years of experience supporting families with BIG behaviors.
What is covered in this course?
Section 1
Become the Expert of Your Child’s Behaviors
Using the science of being relationally, socially, and behaviorally human, this section will demystify the most baffling behaviors. You’ll change how to see and interpret your child’s behavior. That change will become the most powerful tool in your parenting toolbox.
Section 2
Now Let’s “Fix” Those Behaviors
Your parenting toolbox will be stuffed with brain, body, and sensory strategies- that actually work. These techniques will strengthen your child’s nervous system and decrease baffling behaviors. Better yet, by the end of this section you’ll know what interventions to use when.
Section 3
Why Knowing Isn’t Even Half the Battle
You aren’t a bad parent, so what happens between learning new parenting skills and actually using those new parenting skills? Section 3 will grow your tolerance for baffling behaviors so you can parent the way that you want to.
THIS COURSE IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF YOU ARE…
Ready to move past behavior intervention techniques.
Longing to find a way to connect with your child’s true self….even if they never show it to you.
Willing to do the hard work of looking inward to move onward.
Looking for a space to be with people who understand the challenges of caring for a child with a vulnerable nervous system. A community of people who see and get you and accept you as you are. All of you!
THIS COURSE MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST FIT IF YOU ARE…
Looking for the right behavior intervention to change your child’s behaviors.
Most comfortable with reward & consequence-based parenting interventions.
Not interested in considering and addressing the underlying cause of difficult behaviors.
Parenting a child with chronically dangerous behaviors (violence, aggression, substance abuse, sexually acting out, self-injury, etc.). These behaviors are addressed and the information provided will be helpful, however we find that in these situations, families need additional support outside of this course.
