Calm Parenting Basics
Short, practical lessons for the hard moments
5 lessons · about 30 min in total · for parents and caregivers of children aged 2 to 8
Meltdowns, door-slamming, the shoes that will not go on: this course explains what is really happening in your child's brain in those moments and gives you a handful of simple tools that work when you are tired and out of patience. Each lesson takes a few minutes, shows you one idea with a diagram, and lets you practise it on a real-life scenario before you need it.
This is a sample course, built to show how lessons on this platform look and feel.
