Emotions Explorers: Help Children Work Through Big Emotions

In this workshop, Amanda Harrington M. Ed., LPC, RPT will teach parents new ways to approach difficult behaviors, basics of neuroscience related to emotional regulation, and playful ways to teach emotional intelligence.

• Teach their children regulation tools and increase their emotional awareness
• Connect and co-regulate
• Coach their children to use these skills during big emotion moments
