Co-Regulation Workshop with OT & Sensory Coach Jessica Addeo
Join Jessica for a 1 hour workshop teaching you all about your brain and nervous system. What’s happening when you are feeling on edge or snapping at your kiddos, what's happening when you feel so completely touched out you could scream. AND WHAT YOU CAN DO, to really help! You will leave feeling more grounded and centered and capable, with a deeper understanding of who you are and tools to stay in that center amongst all the chaos. Bring the littles! This event will take place in our play space.

Co-Regulation Starts with You!
Did you know that your children’s brain will mirror the internal state of your nervous system? In order to teach your children patience, frustration tolerance and coping skills, you have to be in a space to do these things yourself. And you can’t do it from a chronic state of stress. At first glance this feels like a lot of pressure, another thing to do. But in reality, it’s empowering. YOU set the tone of your house. Not a parenting technique, not an expensive toy or extracurricular activity. You are the thing to help your child stay grounded and centered. But to do this your nervous system can’t be in a state of chronic doing and stress, you have to feel safe internally. Self care that is targeted to what your specific nervous system needs becomes everything.
