What parents are saying…
“I loved the tools for self-regulation!”
“Ways to set limits and understand about the nervous system were great.”
“If you would like more understanding and empathy for your child when they lose control and ways to catch that train before it goes off-track, this class is for you.”
What you can expect…
MereAnn Reid, LPC, RPT :: I’m a child and family therapist with 15 years’ experience, committed to supporting families through the ups and downs of daily life. When I began leading parent groups 10 years ago, I found an amazing thing…parents do better when we listen to and trust ourselves.
That stack of parenting books on the bedside table doesn’t have the power we’d hoped.
Craving reflection and heartfelt connection with other parents? I help facilitate conversations and share brain science-based info on behavior, child development, attachment, and more!
Ready to ditch shame and blame? Just like kids, we adults do well if and when we can. None of us are primarily driven by rewards and consequences; instead, real change takes steady support, time and space to practice new skills, tools for coping with stress, and patience as we make room for holding new perspectives.
I believe deeply in the power of parent education, supportive community, and the fact that not all change comes from therapy—sometimes we need a focused class or other learning opportunity, a patient teacher, and generous peer support to take in new information and practice new skills in good company. In my workshops, I offer practical tools and lots of space to ask questions.
I’ve created a separate home for my parent workshops HERE!
