Are your parenting strategies backfiring?
This lecture explores six common techniques that undermine the very outcomes we hope to achieve. You'll learn alternative approaches that not only promote accountability and growth but also preserve the strong, trusting relationship essential for guiding your child's decisions and values.

Wired for Regulation is a seminar for parents and helping professionals that explains how the brain builds the capacity to calm, focus, connect, and make good choices from conception through the 30s.

Many of the parenting strategies we use today are inherited from past generations—well-intentioned, but often counterproductive. When we rely on fear-based methods, children may respond by lying, hiding the truth, and avoiding responsibility.

Lying. Defiance. Power struggles.

For many adoptive parents and caregivers, these behaviors can feel confusing, frustrating — even personal. But for adopted children, these responses are often rooted in something much deeper than disobedience.

Join us for this insightful 1-hour webinar where we’ll explore:

• Why adopted children may struggle with lying and defiance

• How early trauma, loss, and attachment disruptions shape these behaviors

• What adults can do to respond with empathy while still holding boundaries

This session is designed for adoptive and foster parents, caregivers, educators, and professionals who want to move beyond surface behavior and support healing at the root.

When children with trauma histories act out, what we see on the surface is often just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the behavior, shame can quietly take root — keeping them stuck in cycles of self-blame, isolation, and disconnection.

In this eye-opening 1-hour webinar, we’ll explore how trauma can trap children in cycles of shame, making it harder for them to access the deeper emotions that lead to healing. We’ll discuss how to recognize these patterns, and most importantly, how to respond in ways that break the cycle and create space for safety, connection, and growth.

This session is ideal for parents, caregivers, educators, and professionals who want to shift from managing behavior to understanding and healing the hurt beneath it.

Emotions are meant to move — but what happens when they don’t? In this powerful 1-hour session, we’ll explore the three core pathways of emotional expression and what occurs when those pathways are blocked.

You’ll gain insights into how seemingly brief moments can evolve into long-term trauma when they remain unexpressed, unprocessed, or misunderstood — especially in children and individuals with a history of adversity.

This webinar is ideal for parents, caregivers, educators, and professionals who want to better understand the emotional world of those they support — and learn how to help them move from survival to healing.
