Understanding how our brains work and get wired for the future is essential for parents. Whether you have babies, toddlers, or tweens (or a combo of ages/stages), this knowledge is key to raising resilient humans and creating smooth-flowing family life.
This enlivening and interactive program makes neuroscience easy to understand and demystifies the roots of common behavior and communication challenges. You’ll walk away with greater understanding as well as practical tools that help you connect with your children, communicate effectively, and build the foundation for self-regulation and self-discipline. Specifically we’ll cover:
* What’s going on in the brain (in yourself and your children) in calm and stressful moments
* How to identify if your child is ready to receive your communication
* How to get yourself in the right “state of mind” to constructively communicate
* What to do — and avoid doing — to “get through to” your children in effective ways
The goal of this event is to help you better understand the neurological drives behind behavior and give you the tools to more readily connect and communicate with your child. Gain greater understanding and effective tools that will enhance your relationship with your child even in tough moments.
Cost is $15 ($5 non-refundable deposit required to guarantee seating.)
