Parenting through anger

"At the core of all anger s a need that is not being fulfilled" (Marshall B. Rosenberg)

If you struggle when:

• you get annoyed a lot but you can't figure out why
• your child gets so angry that it is hard to know what to do
• you get angry and don't know how to hold that anger and parent at the same time
• you have no idea where your child's anger is coming from 

Join Anna for this practical online course to explore how to parent through anger - your child's as well as your own.  

You will be gently guided to:

• understand where anger comes from and how to navigate it at its roots
• learn to recognize signals from the body before it's too late
• discover what triggers you and how to manage those triggers
• learn to support your child through anger in a productive way
• use Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to understand and express feelings

Expect to:

• take an active part
• share your own experiences
• play with ideas and strategies, in a group setting
• walk away with insights, tools and ideas to try at home
• feel recharged knowing we all struggle with anger, and it does not have to be that way

"Anna's work and coaching has been so transformative for me, giving me new ways to learn about myself and my child's behaviour, and empowering me to make such positive changes in our lives. I've still got plenty of work to do on this path, but I feel like I have a clearer view of the needs I value most in our family and healthy ways to get them met. I have so much gratitude for Anna!"
