Teaching children to acknowledge, accept
and soothe big feelings
Teaching children to acknowledge, accept and soothe big feelings
Look around and you’ll see the rising rates of depression and other mental health disorders, including among children and teenagers. Self-esteem and confidence are at an all-time low, and it doesn’t look to be getting better anytime soon.
We see rising marital breakdowns and communication difficulties in everyday relationships between family members.
People of all ages are struggling every single day. If adults are not equipped with effective coping strategies, is it any wonder that as a parent, many struggle to handle their children’s emotions when they are unable manage their own?
Adults suffer, often because they were not taught how to handle their emotions as a child. They were not given the compassionate ear of a caring adult who sought to teach and provide understanding to the everyday feelings and reactions they experienced….usually because they too were not taught how either. How can you teach something that you don’t know yourself?
When children show up with emotional outbursts, parents might find themselves becoming triggered with their own sense of frustration and rage.
They don’t know how to settle their child because they were not shown how to when they were a child.
They end up trying to enforce the suppression of feelings upon their child by dismissing them, or, punishing their child for having them. And so this cycle of emotional suppression and dismissal continues from generation to generation because no one knows what to do with them.
You’re here because you want to change that script

You’re here because you want to change that script
You’re here because you know that isn’t what you want for your children.
You’re here because you want your children to grow into healthy, well-balanced adults who are mentally stable and equipped to handle life's challenges.
You’re here because you want your children to be resilient, and in order to have emotional resiliency, they first need to take hold on how they handle their feelings. They need to know how they can manage and soothe their own emotions in ways that are appropriate and in ways that will allow them to accept themselves, understand themselves, and move on with normal life without being held back by feelings that disempower and control them.

For the first time ever, I'm giving you access to an earlier workshop replay we held last year titled "Controlling The Trigger".
You'll have the replay and accompanying workbook.
We all know children need warmth, kindness, compassion and respect. Yet, despite knowing this and learning intentional parenting strategies, mumas still complain they’re unable to control their reactions when buttons are pressed—unleashing a storm of anger, frustration and impatience that is fueled by an unknown rage.
It’s a cycle that perpetuates constant self-criticism, feelings of failure and damages relationships with children.
It’s incredibly difficult if not impossible, to parent successfully and help your children manage their own emotions if you are unable to manage and regulate yours first.
The reality is, 99% of parenting isn’t about controlling your child’s behaviours. It’s about managing your own.
To do that, you must have a greater sense of self-awareness so you can understand where your anger, frustration and impatience is stemming from….because trust me when I tell you, more often than not it isn’t coming from your child.
The reaction you have to your child, is often a symptom of something else, a deeper wound that is being pressed upon and causing pain. In this bonus training, we’re going to dig a little bit further and take a look at healing the wound beneath that plaster so it doesn’t continue to bleed.
