About the event
Parenting classes usually focus on strategies. How to stop tantrums, how to improve behavior, how to get children to listen. And though those tools can be helpful, they miss something essential.
Many of the moments that frustrate us most as parents are not just about our children’s behavior. They frustrate us because they're windows into our own history, expectations, fears, and unfinished emotional patterns.
Why does one parent feel intense anger when a child talks back?
Why does another feel panic when a child struggles?
Why do certain moments feel disproportionately overwhelming?
This class explores how our children often activate patterns we inherited or developed long before we became parents. And rather than treating those reactions as truth, we learn to treat them as insight.
