Exploring the Range of Emotions

In this workshop, we will be looking closely at big, more intense emotions, how to navigate them ourselves, and how to support those we care for through them. We will spend our time exploring a range of feelings, including anger, and working together on developing facility with several powerful and practical strategies for dealing with “big” emotions in ways that further connection and care. Each of these strategies can be proactively taught, practiced, modeled, and delivered without value judgments on the feelings themselves.

Understanding the Adolescent Brain

In this workshop, we will learn about adolescent brain development, what that looks like in action, and ways for us to support and navigate through adolescence alongside our children. Adolescents need and deserve adults that support their development and understand what they might not yet be able to do. This looks like: guidance, practice, time, space, repetition, support, permission to make mistakes, and collaborative corrective measures. We will spend our time growing our understanding of the neuroscience of the adolescent brain and developing a greater awareness of a developmentally supportive mindset to best support our young people.
