Human beings are built to reflect each other’s emotions. When children display intense feelings and behaviors, our brains naturally reflect those. We start to feel stressed, angry, fearful, or overwhelmed, just like our kids. The most helpful thing we can do is to develop a brain calming practice and make it part of our daily routine.

Parent stress has dramatically increased since the start of the pandemic, but children's essential needs haven't really changed.

Parents are less stressed when they recognize myths that may cause family conflict and understand what's most important to help raise thriving, cooperative children. And, good news, kids are more cooperative when they feel positively connected with their parents.

• Communication skills that build strong parent-child connections
• Parent behaviors that help kids cope with stress and develop self-control
• Effective discipline approaches that reduce misbehavior and increase cooperation.

You will have a chance to ask questions and get expert solutions on the spot. You will also receive helpful cheat sheets to guide you when trying new approaches.
