Responding to Your Child's Big Emotions
We've all been there: your daughter yells at you or your son is suddenly in tears. Sometimes our children go from zero to giant emotions in a matter of seconds. In this program, I will share a simple and effective model of responding to emotional situations with your child. You will learn strategies that help adults and kids emerge from challenging moments feeling more connected to each other and more capable of handling emotions.
