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 behaviors signal that the child is in trouble.

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 behaviors signal that the child is in trouble.

The Listening Tools we’ll 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 behavioral calls for help. The Listening Tools help parents and professionals work with a child’s natural instinct to heal from hurt and trauma.

This workshop will be interactive, and will call on your experience as a therapist and/or parent as we introduce you to our approach. You’ll be invited to share your insights and impressions, ask questions, experiment with a few of the Listening Tools, and we will present ways you can engage parents of the children you work with in the healing process.

The two of us have over 55 years of 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!
