Behavioral Toolkits: Responding with Compassion and Boundaries
This class helps parents and caregivers better understand and respond to challenging behavior while strengthening connection with their child.
Participants will learn to recognize precursor behaviors, respond before situations escalate, and set clear, supportive boundaries rooted in compassion. We will explore why challenging behavior happens and how to shift from reactive cycles toward calmer, more connected responses.
The class will also touch on how diet, sleep, and daily routines can impact behavior and emotional regulation, and how small adjustments can support healthier dynamics at home or in the classroom.
Caregivers will leave with practical tools for responding to big feelings, reducing power struggles, and creating more cooperative, regulated moments throughout the day.
Plug Into Parenting: Tools for Connection
Plug Into Parenting is a hands-on class designed to help parents connect with their children without relying on screens or electronics.
This class is especially supportive for caregivers who feel unsure about how to play, when to engage, or how to connect in everyday moments. Participants will learn simple, realistic ways to engage children through play, presence, and listening, even with limited time or energy.
Parents will practice active listening, learn to read their child’s cues, and explore easy ways to build connection during routines, transitions, and play. Caregivers will leave with practical tools to strengthen relationships and feel more confident in their role.
