This five week online class will focus on parent's role in supporting their child's emotional growth and intelligence. Using research from Gottman Institute, "Emotion Coaching: the Heart of Parenting."

This is a five week virtual discussion class - links will be sent via email upon registration. Cost is $25 for each individual and/or couple.

In this five week virtual class we will discuss ways to be a more mindful parent, learning how to respond rather than react in stressful parenting situations. Mindful parenting means that you bring your conscious attention to what’s happening, instead of getting hijacked by your emotions. Managing our own emotions and behaviors is the key to teaching kids how to manage theirs. Parenting young children is difficult,let’s support each other and learn skills to be more mindful of our responses to our children. Class Zoom links will be sent via email upon registration. Cost is $25 for each individual and/or couple.
