Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is designed for all parents and caregivers, regardless of their child's age. Whether you’re parenting toddlers, tweens, or teens, the strategies and insights provided are adaptable to different developmental stages. This workshop is for all types of families, whether you are co-parenting, parenting solo, or navigating blended family dynamics.

How is this workshop different from other parenting workshops?

  • Emphasizes connection – fostering meaningful relationships rather than just obedience.

  • Provides immediately applicable tools – everything you learn can be put into practice right away.

  • Aligns with therapeutic principles – offering language and techniques similar to your children receiving therapy.

  • Encourages self-reflection – helping parents understand how their own upbringing shapes their parenting beliefs.

  • Focuses on strengthening your parenting ‘machine’ – rather than just reacting to specific behaviors.

Is this a therapy session?

No, this is not group therapy.‍ ‍

While we acknowledge the challenges of parenting, this space is designed for learning and application, not for processing individual struggles in-depth. Deeper exploration can be done with your or your child’s individual therapist,

Will I be expected to share personal details about my parenting?

You are encouraged to share only what you feel comfortable with. Our goal is to stimulate thought and discussion without forcing anyone to disclose personal struggles. There is no pressure to compare your situation with others – every family is unique.

  • A set of tools for effective communication and emotional regulation.

  • A better understanding of how your family values shape parenting.

  • Strategies to handle parenting challenges with confidence.

Testimonials

  • "This is great for awareness and education in parenting today in this fast-paced world."

  • "From a parent of a child with Autism and ADHD, this workshop was exactly what I needed. It confirmed that connection is a prerequisite for managing behaviors. I now have the language and a roadmap to stay consistent when life gets challenging. The follow up IP sessions helped create individual plans and take small, effective steps."

  • "This workshop was amazing, whether your kids are babies or teenagers, everything that is taught applies. I truly feel like it could have been an all day workshop."

  • "Come with questions. Take what is given (information wise) and try it before just shutting down right away."

  • "This class helped with self-discovery and learning better ways to talk and listen to my children. Great class."

  • "It's a lot of information but it is well worth the time and amount you take in."

  • "There are very easy 'bite-sized' things that you can blend into your parenting without having to completely change your parenting style. Felt like a safe nonjudgmental space."
