What can you do to overcome your own stress and exhaustion to give your children the attention that they really need?
We answer this question through simple, easy to use strategies that are relevant to the real life circumstances of parents. We guide parents in how to balance the need for setting limits with the need to show compassion and warmth when emotions are running high. We empower parents and caregivers to navigate strong emotions and to develop deep connections with their child. Our approach is congruent with scientific findings on how best to increase a child's emotional intelligence, to build resilience and to help them thrive.
