What happens in the group
Each week, we will gather for 1.5 hours in a small, supportive circle of parents of young kids, ages 0-6 years. Together, we will explore things like: behavior, development, emotional regulation, caregiver stress & self-care, and connection.
Each session/meeting includes…
- A brief check-in
- Education, practical tools, and parenting strategies focused on the week’s theme (e.g., routines, behavior, boundaries, emotional regulation)
- Open discussion and sharing with other parents, guided by the therapist
- Time for Q&A, feedback, and problem-solving around real-life parenting challenges
- Stress management and self-care practices you can use at home
- A closing reflection to help integrate what you’ve learned into daily parenting

- You’d like a safe space to share your experiences without fear of judgment

What you’ll walk away with…
- Practical, evidence-based parenting techniques tailored to young children
- Tools to manage stress and take better care of yourself while parenting
- Increased confidence in handling challenging behaviors and situations
- A deeper understanding of your child’s needs and development
