"Much of how we do things comes from how our parents did them. I did my best but didn't know enough to make it better. I hope this collection of Listening to Children booklets gives you insights into the mistakes I made and assists you in those areas where being a mom is so hard.
I love you,
Mom"

Led by Certified Parenting by Connection Instructor Danielle Friedman and Parenting by Connection Instructor Candidate Rita Mori

This talk is designed for parents of children ten and under. We'll talk about why children choose small, seemingly petty issues as triggers to their deepest feelings, and what parents can do to further their child's wellbeing during these emotional moments. Learn two simple but powerful Listening Tools that can help children feel closer to their parents, and tools parents can use to lighten their own stress load.
