Raising an "intense" child can be very challenging to even the most loving, motivated and seasoned parent. With a specific focus on children who have had difficult beginnings, this workshop will introduce parents to the concept of Emotional Regulatory Healing (ERH), an effective parenting model for our most challenging children. Based on the most recent and reliable research in neuroscience and psychology, ERH empowers parents to become conduits for overcoming not only difficult behaviors, but for healing the underlying hurt and fear that are fueling them. If you are struggling to maintain joy, peace, and tranquility in your home, this conference will give you the information and tools necessary to make lasting and positive changes for your family.

This innovative, relation-based approach will change your view of struggling families and give you the tools to significantly impact your outcomes with clients.
