Help Your Child Feel Safe in an Unpredictable World

About This Workshop

Parents are reeling from recent acts of violence and now thinking about Texas families who lost young ones attending school where they should be safe. You may be feeling overwhelmed with fear, sinking into despair, totally disconnected as losses mount up, or shifting among all of these sensations. At the same time, you may be finding it nearly impossible to drop your child off at school but want to protect them from fear. Coming together with others and sharing our experiences is one piece of repairing these emotional injuries. Participants in this Peace At Home Parenting session will be able to:

• Define and apply self-regulation and co-regulation during difficult times

• Apply communication approaches that help children remember there is more good in the world than danger.
