Parent Yourself First shows why real behavior change starts with the grown-up’s nervous system, not the child’s. Drawing from infant and early childhood mental health, Bryana Kappadakunnel, LMFT, teaches reflective functioning, co-regulation, and the 6 Seeds of Connection: Attunement, Curiosity, Co-Regulation, Playfulness, Reflection, and Repair. Attendees will learn a practical pause routine, body-based check-ins, curiosity scripts that de-escalate power struggles, and a simple repair roadmap after ruptures. Ideal for parents and caregivers of toddlers through tweens, as well as educators, therapists, and coaches. All experience levels welcome, especially those seeking a compassionate, evidence-informed path to raising confident, connected kids.
