Parenting is hard. Each day, our children show us their lowest lows and highest highs. This can leave us parents feeling drained, both emotionally and physically, by the end of the day. Learning to manage those big feelings is a constant work.
These days parents are inundated with parenting advice, tips and tricks. It can be hard to know where to start and even more difficult to integrate this information. That’s where somatics comes in, to help us actually heal our own nervous system and embody that which we wish our children to learn. So that it inherently shows up from within, versus having to put the extra effort into reaching outside of yourself to perform parenting the way you’re “supposed” to.
Our children need coregulation, or our nervous systems’ ability to communicate consistent cues of safety, calm and the ability to come back to center when we inevitably get activated or triggered. This series will equip you with the experiential education you need to regulate your own nervous system so that parenting advice comes from an intrinsic capacity within you versus trying to memorize or force yourself to parent a particular way.
Parenting from an embodied, more regulated state means you have more intuitive connection to your children, so you can trust that you do indeed know what your children need.
Drawing in Laura’s years of experience in Montessori education and Veronica’s background in Somatics, this 3- part series will help you to develop tools to help parents make it through each day with calmer minds and hopefully calmer children too!
During each 90-minute session we will discuss specific transitions and activities that can cause extra stress and help to develop ways to keep you and your children more centered in the moment. We will practice the somatic tools you can utilize and teach your children to heal dysregulation and the effects of chronic stress.
