Tantrums: why they happen and how to respond with calming presence
by Maria Ryabokon, Certified Parenting Coach, www.parentwithasmile.com
This talk is crafted to empower parents with the knowledge and confidence needed to support young children (ages 1-6) through intense emotions.
We’ll use the science of brain development and nervous system function to understand the underlying causes of tantrums. Parents will have the opportunity to reflect on their own reactions and thoughts to explore why witnessing tantrums can be challenging.
Finally, we’ll discuss a set of practical strategies designed to help you remain present and supportive when your child experiences BIG emotions.
