A 3-day free virtual event for parents of emotionally intense 5-12yo kids

On "Parenting the Intensity" we’ll talk all about how we can drop the “general parenting advice” that doesn't work with our intensely emotional kids anyway and let go of the unrealistic expectations society puts on us as parents. Together we'll find solutions and ideas that work for YOU and YOUR kids. Chances are you know what they need, but you need a little inspiration to keep going and permission to do things differently and help you fully trust that you already are a wonderful parent to your exceptional kids.

Articles and podcast transcripts on parenting in general and parenting emotionally intense kids in particular.

Are you the parent who

• does all the researches
• try all the recommendations 
• goes to all the appointments?

So you know the struggle of being able to transfert the informations to your partner/other parent/other meaningful support you have in your life.

As much as we want the help and support, as much as sometimes if feels like it would be so much easier to do it ourselves...sometimes it even feels like they are sabotaging everything we are doing by not changing 

But it's not the reality, we need to work together as much as possible.

This workbook will help you to

•  put what you learned in a short and transferable way 
• prioritize what to focus on
• support you to collaborate together for your child

Your Guide to Nurturing Emotionally Intense Kids

Help your emotionally intense child calm down and stay calm yourself during meltdowns

With a child that has needs different then the "norm" we often feel like we need to defend them, advocate for them in the different places they are in their life, school coming first but many other places will be impact (camp,  community activities, sports, family events even).

This workshop, completed with email templates and cheat sheet, will help you do just that in a more organized and less emotional way, as we can so easily get caught in the emotions and not be able to clearly advocate for our kid. 

Because when we have kids with special needs, grief is part of our everyday life.

Not because we lost someone...it's a different grief, it's:

• The grief of what we where expecting our child would be 
• The grief of what parent we thought we would be 
• The grief of the milestones that don't happen the same way, that each time can be hard on our heart
• The grief of a normal life (whatever that means)
• The grief of the people we had to part with (or put up with) because they don't understand...
• The grief of not feeling understood
• The grief of the loneliness

And it's there, always, and comes back in waves when we think we are done with it. 

In this workshop, we will 

• Get a bit more comfortable with grief
• Normalize it
• Realize that we are not going through it the same way as the other people in our child life
• and find a way to live with it that doesn't hurt as much.

I talk a lot about Detective Work: identifying what our child needs, who they really are, what their interests are, what helps them regulate and feel (and act) well, etc.

But that's really hard work! So I put together that workshop to help you do it more easily and with a bit more structure, with a workbook to note it all down and concrete exercices and prompts to help you in the process.

Plus concrete tools and exercises you can try with your child to help them regulate their emotions. 

When you have "emotionally intense kids" it can be extra hard to take care of yourself...and you need it even more!

This free workbook will allow you to...

• Clarify what it means to take care of YOU
• Find the time to really do it, without guilt
• Taking care of yourself in your daily life, even when you are with your children
• Do it for real! (ok this step is pretty much on your shoulders but you will have the tools in hand to do it!)

Create meaningful memories of you WITH your children by being in the photos with them

They don't care what you look like, they want to see YOU with them in their photos when they grow up and know that you were there too, taking care of them! 

So leave perfection aside and actually be in the photos of your real everyay life with your kids

We are often lost in the everyday tasks of parenting and doubt our decisions.

These virtual cards will help you reframe your vision of yourself as a parent and develop your parental self esteem by helping you focus on positive aspects that are hard to see in our everyday. 

You can choose what helps you most each day or let the affirmation choose you. Use them as screen saver on your phone or computer, print them, whatever helps you remind yourself that you already are a wonderful parent!

Access to the Family Moments Community Facebook Group to get support and feedback.

This Planner is the companion to the Realistic Self Care for Busy Parents  workbook, which is entirely included in the planner, plus more prompts and dedicated pages to apply it all in a concrete way and help you reflect on what works and what doesn't. 

As parent we often doubt ourself and feel that we are failing at what we are doing almost daily.
But that's because we forget all the wonderful things we do, all the strenghts we have and how resilient and adptable we are.

Use this journal to reflect on your parenting journey and all the wonderful things you are doing, focus on your values and your kids needs to find ways to enjoy your parenting life even more!
