Parenting Through Toddler Tantrums and Development

Toddler and doll

Using tools drawn from respectful parenting approaches like RIE® and Hand in Hand Parenting, this workshop will help you understand what your toddler is experiencing, how his or her brain works, and what she or he is developmentally capable of in this tumultuous and tender time. It will also offer you tools for setting firm but respectful limits, helping your toddler offload big feelings, and supporting yourself during these intense years. 

In addition, you will learn how to lighten your load through laughter and play.

Language Matters: How to Raise Confident and Compassionate Children Through Conscious Communication

No More Yelling: The Art & Science of Respectful Discipline

A two-evening class for parents of children from 3-6 years old+.

When your baby was born, you told yourself you’d do your best to stay calm and not yell even when you got triggered. 

But as your child starts testing the boundaries of their world—and your patience—you find you are less able to hold on to the promises you made to yourself.

It’s so frustrating to feel that your child isn’t behaving as you wish. On top of that, it can be so discouraging to see yourself behaving in a way that does not align with your values and the love you feel for your child. 

The good news is that it is possible to learn effective ways to shift your child’s behavior without resorting to punishment, yelling, or shaming. Join me for a unique two-part workshop on how to meet your most challenging moments with your child(ren) with greater connection and respect.


More Ease, More Joy: Conscious Parenting for the Early Years

A half-day workshop co-facilitated with Alejandra Siroka of Language Alchemy.

Perhaps you've looked for information on how to parent more consciously. You've read books, listened to podcasts, and talked to friends. But who do you trust? Some of the suggestions can seem contradictory, complicated, or just not "you."

Wouldn't it be great to feel that you had an authentic and usable set of tools, language, and ideas to turn to for your big AND small parenting questions? A framework to lean on when the next challenge or discussion or feeling arises with your child?

Conscious Parenting can help.
