Parenting in a Pandemic - Mindfulness & Emotion Regulation

Learning how to deal with emotions is an important developmental goal. The skills involved in emotion regulation may be fostered by becoming aware of emotions and by learning how to manage them without pushing them away or getting tangled up in them. This workshop is designed for parents looking to build strategies for supporting their children in building emotional awareness and effective emotion management. Children are navigating many new changes because of COVID. Some of the emotions they may experience because of this may be challenging for them and their parents to manage. This workshop looks at mindfulness skills as a core component in supporting children to better manage their emotions. Participants will also build individual skills which can be applied to their own personal growth and learning.
