This is why I created my program, Parenting W Play!
I know that parents already have that trust and innate bond with
their children so it just makes sense that they could produce faster
and more long-lasting changes in their child’s ability to regulate
emotions, follow limits, and so much more. I also know that children
communicate and process their words the most effectively using play
because that is their most natural language.
My program is for parents of children between 5 and 10 years old and
consists of 3 courses: Tantrum Tamer, Confident Emotion Regulator,
and Motivated Power Struggle Master.
Tantrum Tamer is an introductory 4-week course where you will
learn skills in emotion coaching and reflective responding that will
help you learn effective strategies for bringing the temperature down
during a temper tantrum as opposed to adding fuel to the fire. By
honing these skills, you may even be able to stop a tantrum in its
tracks before it escalates.
Upon completion of Tantrum Tamer, you will be able to move on to
Confident Emotion Regulator, which is a 6-week course that builds
off of the skills learned in Tantrum Tamer. In this course, you will
fully grasp the importance of serving as the key regulator of your
child’s emotions and how you play a role in helping them learn
how to regulate their emotions on their own.
The final course is Motivated Power Struggle Master, which is
another 6-week course that offers education in appropriate limit
setting that promotes putting your child in the driver’s seat of their
consequences and keeps you from having to be the “bad guy.”
Each course includes using play as a tool to connect with your child
and support their behavioral health development. After all, if you are
not playing with your child, you are not communicating with them!
In the end, you will feel like a totally in-control parent!
