FREE Coping Skills Guide For You and Your Family
Big Emotions?
Is parenting triggering you?
Not sure what to do?
👉🏽 Self-care is "a buzz word" on social media, and it's important, but sometimes we need immediate solutions for our child's or our emotional regulation. Taking a bubble bath every time our child gets upset is not practical.
👉🏽 We need sensory calming tools to calm our nervous system and address behavioral challenges in children without resorting to threats or punishments.
📣It's common for parents to lack coping skills to manage distressing emotions, but ultimately, it comes down to finding effective strategies.
👉🏽 When your child's nervous system is activated, their behavior is affected. However, traditional disciplinary methods like threats, demands, punishments, and giving in don't work in the long term and can harm the parent-child relationship.
👉🏽 It is important to address the body's reactions before addressing emotions or thoughts.

Why?
-
When our nervous system is activated in specific ways that create high emotions, the more logical or rational parts of the brain "shut off." This means that our decision-making abilities become less rational and supportive when we are experiencing strong emotions. Emotions are always present and influence our thoughts and actions, but some emotions can disrupt our self-regulation and cause us to say or do things we later regret.
-
For kids, the brain doesn’t fully mature until age 25+, so learning about Coping Tools and having open conversations about them while offering regular practice for using and normalizing them, gives our kids an advantage to face the ups and downs of life NOW. And advantage we didn't have when we were kids...

When our kids leave their dirty socks on the floor for the umpteenth time even though, the laundry basket is right there, we get triggered and we feel not heard, not seen, and not understood.
That can be triggering not because of "who our child" is as a person (refraining from using labels like ‘lazy’ or ‘inconsiderate’…), but because a trigger is a pattern from the past (many of us were not seen or heard as kids…). And the only way to manage triggers from the past are to dig deeper – a Master Certified Parent Coach like me, can help unearth the roots of our triggers and apply skills to support you in creating coherence around them. This work is changing the lives of families around the world.
In the meantime, we need to develop COPING SKILLS to handle the ups and downs of parenting, and these are primarily based on sensory calming tools.
