Dr. Cindy Hovington gives parenting advice backed by science on her wonderful blog, The Curious Neuron, which helps parents create a safe container for their young children to thrive.

Conscious parenting is often easier said than done, especially when your kid is learning to express themselves vocally. Taking emotional cues from tears and fighting is hard, but Cindy breaks down the different ways to navigate the tantrums, time outs and use them as opportunities to emotionally regulate.

It’s not all about damage control. You’ll also learn how to help your child’s imagination run free through simple play (over expensive toys) and downtime and prepare them for big transitions such as school or a future sibling.

You will learn about...

Dealing with children's emotions
How to show up for your child in every environment
Asking for help and the importance of self care
Building social-emotional skills
Supporting your child’s development through (risky) play
Dealing with parental judgement with other parents
Healthy screen time in the home
Getting kids ready for big changes
