Cultivating Calm™
Cultivating Calm is a new parenting guide brought to you by Alex Ensch, a school social worker turned stay at home mom with a penchant for supporting kids (and grown ups) with big feelings. While the guide gives strategies and tips for dealing with the inevitable tantrum, the bulk of it focuses on how to build up the good stuff already happening in your home.
How is Cultivating Calm different?
Strengths-based
Start with what you're already great at and build on from there. Not all parenting tips are going to work for you, and that's okay!
Nonjudgmental
Parenting is way too nuanced to talk in absolutes. Cultivating Calm doesn't believe there's one right way to do it, and the guide allows you the flexibility to create the life you want for your family.
One size does NOT fit all
It can be frustrating when the top parenting accounts give scripts that don't work for your child. Cultivating Calm goes beyond the script to help you figure out how to respond when your child needs more.
Topics
- Why our kids tantrum, and how a little bit of brain science can help you understand how to best respond to your child during times of stress
- Tips to establish a strong Family Baseline, when everyone is calm, safe, and cared for
- How to respond when big feelings and tantrums interrupt the calm
- Why repair is important when someone makes a mistake
- Problem solving strategies to try when repetitive behaviors are occurring and changes need to be made
-
Most importantly, you'll discover how to do all this in a way that's true to you and your unique family
