Whether you’re navigating toddler tantrums, school-age defiance, adolescent shutdowns, or the emotional intensity of teens and young adults, moments of dysregulation can leave parents feeling reactive, helpless, or disconnected from the relationship they care so deeply about. This experiential workshop offers parents a compassionate, neuroscience-informed understanding of what’s happening beneath big emotions—at every stage of development—and practical tools for responding with clarity, steadiness, and connection.Together, we’ll explore how the nervous system shapes behavior for both children and parents across the lifespan. You’ll learn why reasoning often fails when emotions run high, how stress and unresolved past experiences influence our reactions as adults, and why co-regulation—rather than control, fixing, or force—is the foundation for emotional resilience, trust, and long-term relationship health. When parents understand what’s happening in the brain and body during moments of conflict or shutdown, new possibilities for response emerge.Through guided discussion, breathwork, reflection, and paired sharing, participants will learn tools can be used in the heat of the moment—during conflict, resistance, or emotional overwhelm—as well as ongoing practices that build resilience, emotional balance, and secure connection within the parent–child relationship over time.This workshop is for parents and caregivers of children of all ages—from toddlers to teens and beyond—who want to:Better understand their child or teen’s emotional worldRespond more skillfully to defiance, shutdown, reactivity, or emotional intensityReduce power struggles and reactive parenting patternsStay more grounded and regulated during stressful interactionsStrengthen trust, safety, and connection in their relationshipsGain practical, trauma-informed tools they can use immediatelyParticipants will leave with a clearer understanding of their own nervous system, concrete strategies for supporting their child at any developmental stage, and the reassurance that challenges in parenting are not a sign of failure—but an invitation to deepen connection, understanding, and resilience together.About the TeachersKate Munding is a Guiding Teacher at Spirit Rock Meditation Center and serves on the Spirit Rock Guiding Teachers Council.
