Let me guess… You’ve promised yourself you would be a peaceful parent this school year, but you’re still yelling. You’re not alone! Many of us have already fallen off the “intentional” parenting wagon a few times this year. I’ll teach you the science and art of creating, sustaining, and most importantly repairing parent-child connection and harmony. So that you can go to bed knowing that your parenting is working without causing emotional harm!
Are you ready to stop surviving parenting and start thriving at it? This talk will help you:
- Develop a state of mind that allows you to speak with love, respond effectively, and rise above all challenges.
- Replace yelling, threats, punishments, and permissiveness with strategies that work and create connection.
- And use everyday challenges to grow your family’s emotional intelligence.

Yelling again after promising yourself you'd stop, then going to bed feeling guilty. Lorena Seidel speaks to parents of young children about how the cycle of yelling and disconnection starts, and the four obstacles that keep parents stuck. The talk also looks at what doing it over can look like after a hard moment, and ends with a four-minute check you can do each night.
