A workshop for parents caught between wanting to be kind and needing to be in charge — who are ready to stop second-guessing themselves every time the big feelings hit.

You've read the gentle parenting posts. You've tried the scripts. You know you're meant to validate, stay calm, hold the boundary.

And sometimes it works. But other times — three minutes into a meltdown over a broken banana — the calm, gentle version of you has left the building.

You snap. Or you go quiet. Or you give in just to make it stop.

Then the voice kicks in: I'm not gentle enough. I'm too soft. I'm too harsh. I'm doing this wrong.

Here's the thing: the problem isn't that you're not "gentle" enough or "firm" enough. The problem is that parenting styles give you another set of rules to follow — and inevitably fall short of. Another label to measure yourself against at 2am when nothing is working.

You don't need a style. You need to understand what's actually happening — in their brain and in yours — so you can stop white-knuckling your way through the hard moments and trust yourself in the middle of them.

What We'll Cover:

• What's actually happening in their brain during a meltdown — and why it's not what you think.

• What's happening in YOUR brain — and why you react before you can think.

• A practical framework for being in charge AND kind — at the same time.

• What to do when you lose it — because you will, and it's not the end of the story.

What's Included:

• 60-minute live workshop with me, including Q&A.

• Downloadable workbook with key concepts, prompts, and strategies.

• Replay access if you can't make it live or want to re-watch.

Who It's For:

• Parents of 1–5 year olds navigating meltdowns, tantrums, and big emotions.

• Mums who feel caught between "too soft" and "too mean."

• Anyone who's tried gentle parenting but feels like it's not working.
