Big Feelings, Little Brains:\nA Parent & Caregiver Workshop on Tantrums & Emotional Regulation

What if tantrums aren’t defiance… but dysregulation?
If you’ve ever:
• Felt blindsided by a meltdown over something “small”
• Wondered why your child falls apart even after you explained the rule
• Yelled… and then felt guilty afterward
• Thought, “They know better — so why can’t they do better?”
This workshop is for you.
In early childhood, big emotions are not a character issue. They’re a brain development reality.
During this live, in-person parenting workshop, we’ll break down:
🧠 What’s actually happening in your child’s brain during a tantrum
🧠 Why logic disappears when emotions take over
🧠 The difference between compliance and real emotional regulation
🧠 Why toddlers are not “manipulating” you
🧠 What to say when hitting, yelling, or shutdown happens
🧠 How co-regulation wires the brain for long-term resilience
You’ll leave with:
• A clearer understanding of early childhood brain development
• Practical scripts you can use immediately
• Tools for handling tantrums, sibling conflict, and big feelings
• More confidence in hard moments
• Relief from the “am I doing this wrong?” spiral
This is not permissive parenting. This is not letting kids “run the house.”
This is neuroscience-based, connection-centered parenting that builds emotional strength from the inside out.
Because when the nervous system is flooded, learning stops. And when children feel safe, emotional growth begins.
If you want to raise emotionally aware, resilient children (and feel steadier in the process) I would love to see you there.
Seats are intentionally limited to keep the space intimate and interactive.
