​
POV its 7.58am, you need to leave for school drop off at 8.10am
There is spilt orange juice on the floor. Toys everywhere. Bags not packed. Kids refusing to get dressed. Then You step in the spilt juice. While you are cleaning it up (half dressed I might add), your kids start fighting over (well something- it could be the remote, a toy, a look, you get the picture).
They lose it, You lose it. And the day begins in chaos.
​
Sound familiar.
This isn't just bad behaviour. It is a sign your and your child's nervous system is at full capacity.
​
Its not that you are doing it wrong.
​
Its that no one taught you how to do it differently.
You weren't raised with words like "regulation" "dysregulation"
You were told to be quiet, be strong, be brave and to get on with it.
And now you are trying to raise kids with big emotions and tender needs... All while running on empty and carrying the parenting "shoulds"
​
And more often than not it feels like there are no boundaries left... between what your child needs and what you have to give.
​
That's where this FREE WORKSHOP comes in. It is not about being the perfect parent, it is not about adding more to your plate, hopefully it can help you feel lighter in these moments by understanding what is going on internally.
​
You will get:
a simple explanation of what dysregulation is and how to to recognise it in you and your child's body.
The volcano metaphor to explain nervous system overload to your child.
3 practical, gentle strategies for finding calm in the moment without needing an hour of time or a 7 point plan
Validation and support for breaking cycles and parenting differently
A nervous system lens to help you shift from reactivity to connection.
