A workshop for parents!

What it is: a cool technique/game/exercise that uses field expanding language patterns (for ages ~2-10 yrs.) that helps you:

~ relate better to kids that feel hard to relate to

~ engage in easy, flowing conversation with kids that you don’t have a lot in common with

~ interrupt and redirect kids’ unwanted behavior

~ move a kiddo out of disregulated or hard (sad, angry) emotional states faster (especially if they seem stuck there)

~ it can even help minimize the sensation of physical pain for a kiddo (really)

~ last but not least, it is really good for cognitive development, generating dopamine flow, getting kiddos to focus/engage, moving kids into a more positive mental/emotional state, and reciprocal hemispheric utilization (a fancy term that just means more optimal and smooth brain function)

Since this ONE technique does SO MANY different things, I’m calling it a Parenting Meta-Tool.

This tool/game has delighted both me and my kiddos and it feels like a relief to add it to my tool-kit. I’ve had a hard time connecting to my son, and having this new way to access connection is a balm to my soul. And my daughter has the most intense melt-downs sometimes, and this is the only way I can get her out of them.
