EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT PARENING 

Parenting can be an emotional rollercoaster and we need to develop tools to enjoy the ride. 

Learn to FEEL with, rather than DEAL with your child.

“Danica’s course was a GAME CHANGER!”

What is emotional intelligent parenting? 

Science based research 

The course I teach was created by Melbourne University and is called “Tuning into kids – emotionally intelligent parenting”. You can take a peek at the material below.

Little & Big Feelings

It takes skill to swap automatic reactions for mindful ones

I’ve created the free PDF download of “Mindful Parenting” if you’d like to learn a little bit more (and not quite ready to sign up for the 6 week course)

Meditate

Slow down

The mind can be a busy place, in order for us to be emotionally intelligent parents, we need to be in tune with our own emotions and regulate them. This “body scan” style of meditation can be helpful for busy parents. You’ll ne guided by Danica Joy, via the Insight Timer app here.

Why learn emotional intelligence? 

When you realise that ALL behavior is communication, you begin to understand that “attention seeking” behavior is actually “connection seeking” as our kids needs us to regulate their big feelings and nervous systems. 

During the 6 week course, you will learn the foundations of emotional intelligence and have a skill to use daily and may just find that melt downs and tantrums significantly decrease.
