An introduction to Hand in Hand Parenting, which focuses on connection and learning how emotions work.
Explore the parenting approach that is all about connection, peer support (for us!), setting limits in a loving way that elicits real change, play and laughter, co-regulation and trauma-informed practices.
Check out their website to learn more.
The tools Hand in Hand has organized were the missing piece for me for many years. Teaching kids (which I've done for 20 years) was a very different reality than having my own kids (who are now 9 and 6)! The emotions and "tantrums"
(I like other descriptors better)
that my own kids would experience was a thing many kids just save for their parents - so I had to gather more knowledge of what my kids needed. Hand in Hand Parenting filled in the gaps for me and I'm so grateful.
This class will primarily focus on tools for children ages 1 - 7.
Our class meetings will be a time to ask questions and to clarify the material, and to experience the peer to peer support tool of Listening Time where you get to experience someone listening well to you while you work through the things that are so challenging in parenting. You are welcome to use this time however you need to - there is no pressure and our role as listeners is simply to be supportive.
The rest of the learning is through online material on the Hand in Hand website. This is comprised of some literature to read (I think there's an audio listening option too) and videos of the tools and the approach from the founder, Patty Wipfler.
This class will be IN PERSON, meeting at Peaceful Heart; 725 W. Alder St. #3 in Missoula, MT.
With enough interest, we can put together a childcare option!

This class is operated at Peaceful Heart, by me, Jess, yet I'm offering Hand in Hand specific classes separately from any of the larger umbrellas of my business (such as yoga, mindfulness, etc), to make sure this approach of Hand in Hand is plenty accessible and not mixed with other modalities.
