5 Parenting Tools That Connect & Heal
When children feel safe, seen, and connected with their parents or other adults in their lives, they are at their best. They can learn, explore, share, cooperate, and develop sound judgment over time. But when big negative feelings interfere, that sense of connection breaks easily, and difficult behaviours signal that the child is in trouble.
The Listening Tools they present give parents and professionals simple but deeply healing ways to build a child’s sense of connection. With regular use of the Listening Tools, caring adults become less reactive to a child’s behavioural calls for help. The Listening Tools help parents and professionals work with a child’s natural instinct to heal from hurt and trauma.
Tosha and Patti over 55 years of combined experience working with the Hand in Hand approach in a wide variety of settings and diverse groups. We look forward to supporting your good work!
