A practical, compassion-focused training for parents, educators, mental heath providers and therapists who want want neuroscience-backed, evidence-based tools to help kids and teens feel safe, seen, and supported—without shame, pressure, or burnout.
When Life Feels Like Too Much
If you are a parent, caregiver, educator, therapist, or counselor supporting kids and teens with anxiety around transitions, social demands, academics, uncertainty, or life pressures—this workshop will help.
Kids and teens are more anxious than ever. During transitions, their stress can show up as shutdowns, meltdowns, resistance, or school avoidance. Sleep gets disrupted. Social demands spike. Screens become both a crutch and a trigger.
The pressure to perform, the need for autonomy, the unpredictability of daily life—it can all feel like too much.
And if you’re the one supporting them? You might feel like you’re walking on eggshells… constantly bracing for a meltdown, shutdown, or total avoidance.
You’re not alone—and there’s a better way forward.
What You Wish Could Be Different
You want to:
- Help your child or student feel calm and capable
- Make transitions smoother—for everyone involved
- Replace confusion with connection
- Show up with tools that truly make a difference
That’s what this live, interactive workshop is designed to provide—for both home and school settings.
What you want is support that works in real life.
What You’ll Learn
You’ll walk away with:
- 10 brain-based, flexible strategies backed by neuroscience
- A nervous system lens to reduce stress (for them and you)
- Scripts, visuals, and co-regulation tools to use right away
- Support that builds trust and connection—not power struggles
Topics include:
- Why anxiety shows up as shutdowns, outbursts, or resistance
- How stress, sensory overload, and screen time affect behavior
- Tools for emotional regulation and smoother transitions
- Ways to promote autonomy while offering structure and safety
- Mindset shifts that help you feel more grounded and clear
This is not a behavior chart or compliance workshop. It’s a research-backed, neurodiversity-affirming approach rooted in compassion.
You’re in the Right Place If…

- Anxiety, sensitivity, emotional dysregulation
- Sensory overload, school avoidance, shutdowns
- Social pressures, executive functioning challenges
And you want to:
- Ditch shame-based systems and behavior charts
- Feel equipped, not exhausted
- Build calm and connection with tools that stick
