From Chaos to Calm: Why Behavior Modification Doesn’t Work with Our Kids, and What Does
A two part online training series conducted by Juli Alvarado

Bringing back the joy in parenting!
Through the lens of mindful and trauma sensitive care, we will explore the attachment challenged child’s view of the world, life, love, family and relationships. We will find answers to the questions; ‘why does my child do what she does?’, ‘how can I more effectively engage with my child?’, and ‘how do I maintain my sanity while doing so?’

Other topics that will be briefly explored:

  • The impact of shame in healing
  • Brain based restoration of emotional regulation
  • Sensory based interactions that bring healing
