Family life can be stressful at the best of times and even more so during the pandemic. Stress makes us react rather than respond. Anger has a terrible reputation because so many people use anger to hurt themselves or others. But this isn’t anger’s fault! This is not anger’s true nature. Anger is  a hardwired and essential emotion. Learning to work with anger — instead of repressing the life out of it or exploding outward with it — is one of the most important skills you can teach your children.

I know many parents the consequences of its behaviour challenging. Are you at the stage you’ve tried so many techniques and frankly feel tired and defeated?.

Does your child:

• Scream at the shops because he/she can’t have something they want?
• Look at you with “the anger” in his eyes when you tell him/he wants to do?
• Often defy you even if it is a small request.
• Sometimes kick and hit you?
• Have a meltdown for a simple request such as bedtime or leaving in the morning for school?
• In addition, do you dread saying no to them?

Join this one and a half hour interactive workshop and learn how to:

•  How to befriend anger and understand how to respond to the “big feelings” with presence, compassion, and wise parenting to enable everyone to  “cool and calm down”.
• Manage the frustration and anger in parenting and learn how to respond rather than react.
• Understand what’s beneath the anger, triggers for meltdowns and tantrums.
• Understand your child’s temperament why this is important in emotional regulation.
• Learn some basic neuroscience, “fight and flight” response and the role of your child’s amygdala(s), and why this may impact on escalating the behavior. 
• End the cycle of screaming and shouting.
• Shift from Punitive parenting to Positive Discipline ( Creating strong empathic boundaries, rules, and limits).
• Transform Anger into self-regulation.

NB. Remember self-control/regulation is a better predictor of academic success than IQ or SAT scores

About me:

One of the questions I want to answer through my work is:

I draw upon the latest neuroscience, psychology, and practice-based theory. I have 31 years in the NHS and over 20 years as a Specialist  CAMHS Clinician working with children and families with severe and complex emotional and behavioral difficulties. I am trained in Solihull and the Incredible Years, two evidenced-based parenting courses.  I feel honoured by the trust given by parents and children in my work. I know there is ALWAYS something to learn, however, I am happy to share my experiences so far. I also have a daily meditation practice.

I am human just like you, I‘ve experienced all the highs and lows in parenting. I’ve made so many mistakes and we’ve all survived and arrived at a more compassionate place. Looking forward to empowering everyone soon. With Love Catherine
