Course
Tantrums: Helping Our Kids Find their Calm (While Staying Calm, Ourselves)
August 21, 2020
Description
Tantrums are hard not only for the child who’s having one, but also for the adult who’s supporting them. In this session, I cover what tantrums are, some good things about them (yes, they exist!), and what to do “in the moment.”
Note that I do not suggest asking kids to “use their words.” When little kids are really upset, they’re using a part of their brain that’s in fight-or-flight mode. Adult-style communication is simply not achievable for them when they’re dysregulated. Once they’re calm again, then their words are more readily available to them. This session offers some ideas of what you can do instead.
Note: this session does not have subtitles (coming soon).

Parenting Program
Evidence-Based and Heart-Centered Support
Join us for an evidence-based and heart-centered “come as you are” parent, caregiver, and professional mentoring experience. In our non-judgmental small group sessions, you’ll learn how to maintain peace amidst challenges (hint: you do not always have to be the calm in your child’s storm!), forge a secure attachment pattern, and cultivate a lasting connection with your child. Explore effective strategies for handling big emotions, regulating your nervous system, and breaking free from patterns that aren’t serving you.
Whether you’re new to connection-based parenting or an experienced caregiver or parent coach seeking greater insights, all are welcome (pending space and acceptance of your application). Here are some of the people Sarah’s mentored for their own parenting, and/or trained to become certified parent coaches to help others:
Parents and caregivers who are striving to be more peaceful, or simply take their parenting to the next level of connection and stability
Parent coaches, educators, therapists, doctors, social workers, and other professionals who work with children or the people who support them, or who simply want to dive deeper into this work. Also, grandparents who want to heal relationships with their children and grandchildren, and anyone else who wants to “reparent” themselves.
You’ll meet live with Sarah every week for 12 weeks, and you’ll have access to her exclusive interviews with some of the best and brightest parenting experts in the world to further enhance your experience
