Topic:

Emotional regulation is at the heart of safe, connected, and resilient parenting. In this webinar, we’ll explore how a parent’s ability to manage and repair their own emotional responses lays the groundwork for stronger parent-child relationships. Participants will gain an understanding of what emotional regulation truly entails, how the nervous system plays a role in daily interactions, and why repair—not perfection—is the key to connection.

Through a combination of psychoeducation, reflection, and practical strategies, we’ll examine common parenting triggers and offer simple, effective grounding tools and habits to support both individual regulation and co-regulation with children. This session will equip participants with insights and actionable tools to foster calm, set loving boundaries, and build lasting trust—from the inside out.
