Understanding Your Child
Module 1 of an 8 part series, Understanding Your Child, will explore the basic concepts needed to help you understand and balance emotions and behavior. We will explore the Biosocial Theory, which explains how nature and nurture impact one another, and the Wave Model of Emotions. By the end of this module you’ll have a sense of WHAT tools to try and WHEN during the waves of emotions within your family. HOW/WHY to use each of those tools are taught in modules 2-8.

Mindful Parenting
Module 2 of an 8 part series, Mindful Parenting, integrates practices of mindfulness into daily acts of parenting. You will learn the States of Mind and how to identify each of them in yourself and in your child. You may see yourself in the common dynamic when two caregivers hold down opposite states (emotion vs logic), one when one caregiver oscillates between the two. Then you will learn how to get to “Wise Mind”, a synthesis of both. This is where the most balanced and healthy parenting decisions come from, and what children ultimately need from each of their caregivers!

Navigating Your Own Waves
Module 3 of an 8 part series, Navigating Your Own Waves, puts you, the parent, at the forefront! You cannot navigate the emotion waves of your family until you learn to ride your own. You will learn the skills called STOP and TIPP and Self Soothe, all of which YOU should use during moments when either/both you and/or your child are in high-intensity emotions. You’ll wrap up the module with tips for creating your very own self-soothe kit. To further your progress, check out Module 4, Navigating Your Child’s Waves.

Navigating Your Child's Waves
Module 4 of an 8 part series, Navigating Your Child’s Waves, explores three common thinking-error patterns that occur when parents witness their kids in intense emotion. Awareness of these patterns, and the actions that come from them, will unveil ways despite all best intentions, you may inadvertently be making things worse in the long run. Leaving this module, you will be primed to correct these thought-myths and respond more effectively to your kids. While this lesson does stand alone, we strongly recommend it in conjunction with module 5, which elaborates on how to respond effectively when your kid is having big emotions and/or behaviors.

Establishing Connection
Module 5 of an 8 part series, Establishing Connection, teaches the skills of validation. What research considers the most important skills of parenting, these tools help build a strong relationship between you and your child not just during intense emotional moments, but always! At the end of this module, you'll have learned and practiced the 6 components of validation and be ready to acknowledge your kids’ feelings even when you disagree with their behaviors. While this lesson does stand alone, we strongly recommend it in conjunction with module 4 as a prerequisite to this lesson. To further your progress, check out Module 6, Acceptance and Change.

The Art of Parenting
Module 8 of an 8 part series, The Art of Parenting, is the culmination of parenting skills which is establishing balance. Using the tools from all of the past modules, here you will learn to find balance between the three most common dilemmas in parenting 1- being too strict vs too loose 2- making too much of normal behaviors vs minimizing problem behaviors 3- and forcing independence vs fostering dependence. Although recommended in conjunction with the previous skills, the lessons from this module alone will still strengthen your household by creating balance in your thinking and doing, which is the ultimate path towards mental health in your home.
