Fostering Healthy Sibling Relationships

For parents with more than one child, this class will offer some practicals for the short and long term. The big message is that you are the family emotional regulator and when you have some juice in your cup you are more able to see and hear and appreciate the little ones. When they feel that they stay more regulated and are able to deal with themselves and each other better. I’ll also give some strategies for creating more fun and connection as they grow. Plus answer the general questions about how to deal with sticky sibling situations in the moment.

Saturday, August 28th, 10am-noon
