June 15: Parenting Overwhelm
Parenting can feel like too much — especially when you’re tired, touched out, worried, or carrying the invisible mental load for everyone. In this drop-in support group, we’ll talk about why overwhelm happens and how getting support for yourself can make it easier to show up with more patience and warmth. You’ll have time to be heard around the deeper feelings underneath overwhelm, like guilt, resentment, loneliness, fear, or the sense that you’re doing it all alone.

June 29: Tears, Tantrums, and Big Feelings
Crying, tantrums, and emotional storms can be some of the hardest parts of parenting. In this session, we’ll explore a new way to understand your child’s big feelings — not as something to shut down, but as something they can move through with your loving support. You’ll also get support around what comes up in you when your child cries, screams, tantrums, or falls apart, so those moments can feel less overwhelming and more workable.

July 13: Setting Limits Without Losing It
Saying “no” can be hard — especially when it leads to tears, anger, bargaining, or a full meltdown. In this drop-in group, we’ll look at how to set limits that are both firm and loving, so your child feels guided without you needing to yell, threaten, or give in. You’ll receive support around the feelings that make limits hard to hold, like guilt, fear of upsetting your child, anger, doubt, or old memories of how limits felt when you were young.

July 27: Building Cooperation
When your child won’t listen, cooperate, get dressed, leave the house, stop grabbing, or stop saying “no,” it can feel exhausting and personal. In this session, we’ll look at what may be happening underneath off-track behavior and how connection, play, laughter, and warm attention can help children find their way back to cooperation. You’ll have space to be heard around the feelings that get stirred up when your child resists you — frustration, powerlessness, rejection, or the fear that nothing you do is working.

August 10: When Parenting Pushes Your Buttons
Every parent has moments when their reaction feels bigger than the situation. Maybe it’s whining, sibling fights, bedtime resistance, messes, public meltdowns, or not being listened to. In this drop-in support group, we’ll bring compassion to those triggered moments and look at what might be getting touched underneath the surface. You’ll receive listening support around a recent parenting moment that pushed your buttons, with room for the anger, fear, shame, sadness, or old hurt that may be living underneath.

August 24: Creating a More Connected Family Rhythm
Connection-based parenting doesn’t have to be another thing you’re supposed to “get right.” In this session, we’ll talk about how to bring small, doable moments of connection into everyday family life — through play, listening, warm limits, repair, and support for you. You’ll have time to reflect on what gets in the way of being the parent you want to be, including exhaustion, lack of support, perfectionism, guilt, grief, or the feeling that you’re carrying too much alone.
