We are like a rock band now, making our way from city to city, partying hard, sleeping little, rousing crowds into wild fury.
Just kidding.
Our scene could not be more wholesome. We assemble ourselves in front of a crowd of well-meaning, totally loving parents and educators and share with them our ideas about empathy, brain development, and getting along with kids. We talk about tantrums, and being late for soccer practice, and siblings hitting each other - all that stuff that makes or breaks a parent's day.

BUT WHAT IS IT?
This workshop looks at the latest brain science to understand how emotional processing affects children. We dive into the “ins and outs” of empathy and how to use it effectively to help children manage emotional upheaval and move into their “upper brain” where faculties like reason, logic, critical thinking, self-awareness, cooperation, and eventually empathy itself become accessible. We also share strategies for creating a home or class environment that fosters children’s complete comfort in sharing and moving through feelings. Everything we want for our children, students, and families hinges on healthy emotional processing and the development of optimal neuro-emotional habits. This course will get you there!
Includes:
- easy comprehensible steps
- thorough, take-home outline and resources
- 3 comprehensive charts for quick and easy reference
- a feelings and needs list
- research that supports the information
