Big Feelings, Busy Homes: Helping Kids Regulate in Real Life

We are pleased to welcome Pyschotherapist and Founder of Life & Family Counselling, Dr. Mary Marano, to St. Stephen for a parent engagement evening focused on navigating everyday emotional challenges with school-aged children.

Areas of exploration will include:

• What anxiety actually looks like in children, and why it often shows up as behaviour rather than words

• Why many kids hold it together all day at school and then fall apart at home

• How children “borrow” our calm when they’re overwhelmed and what happens when we’re stressed too

• The very normal urge parents have to fix, reassure, or shut things down and what tends to help more

• How to support kids through friendship ups and downs without rushing in to solve everything

• Simple, realistic ways parents can help kids regulate emotions in the middle of real life (mornings, homework, bedtime, transitions)

Limited tickets available. Reserve your spot today.
