Become The Calm, In-Control Parent You've Always Wanted To Be

• A simple model to understand your nervous system, that gives you an easy way to communicate to yourself, and to others, how you are feeling in-the-moment - this works especially well for explaining to your kids when you are about to blow your top, helping to keep you calm and letting them know they need to stop what they are doing.

• Two simple breathing exercises that you can practice each day to reduce your overall stress levels and help train your body to better regulate your emotions. Practicing this regularly teaches your body to calm down and breath when your really need it.

• A simple meditation technique to help build your capacity for emotional regulation by creating a better awareness of your senses. Since I started practicing this regularly, I've become much more able to recognize when I'm about to say or do things that I'll end up regretting.

• The surprising way that "spending time in nature" can help you stay calm...and 6 fun ideas to make spending time in nature something that you and your kids look forward to.

• An incredibly powerful mindset shift that you can use to instantly gain more empathy for your child - to remind you to view the situation from their viewpoint - when they do something that makes you want to scream - I keep this mantra stuck up on various walls in my house, because reading it works like magic to help me stay calm when my kids behave badly.

• How "forcing" yourself to laugh more regularly can actually make you better at staying calm and reduce your overall stress (and how to laugh intentionally, without having to find something funny). This sounds weird, but it can make you feel so much better, less stressed, and better able to deal with the stresses of being a parent.

• The best type of exercise to do in order to build your "calm-ability" (hint: you don't need to strain yourself to get the calming benefits of exercise).

• The strange way in which your gut bacteria actually communicate with your brain...and how your gut-health actually influences your behavior and your ability to stay calm (and how to ensure that your gut bacteria supports instead of hinders your ability to stay calm).

• How to use writing to get better at identifying your emotions (and the reasons for those emotions), and get better at staying in control when you feel like yelling.

Implementing just one or two of these habits can make a dramatic improvement in your overall ability to stay calm.

But improving your overall ability to stay calm is just the first step. The second important aspect of staying calm is to have the right techniques and tools to calm down in-the-moment.

You see, you have about six seconds between an emotional trigger and either taking control of your emotions and getting to respond peacefully, or flipping out and being controlled by your emotions.

So in the second chapter, you'll discover my favorite techniques for using those six seconds to take control of your emotions, instead of being controlled by them.

• When I interviewed Dr. Lawrence Cohen, a licensed psychologist and author of the influential book Playful Parenting, he shared his simple framework for understanding your triggers and why you react the way you do. He calls this "Tracking Your Triggers" and it is a very simple but powerful way to gain control of your reactions in the long term.

And if you just do this once, you might get some benefit from it. But if you do this over a period of a month, and anytime you're triggered...and you do that, and I would say I don't like to give guarantees, but almost guaranteed you'll find patterns, and you'll find insights, and you'll find some relief from the pressure of these triggers.

• How to use the "Tracking Your Triggers" system to gain insight into events from your own childhood that are affecting your behavior and reactions today, and become better at staying in control of your behavior.

• Why the "Tracking Your Triggers" framework helps you turn emotional, negative situations into positive opportunities for personal growth and development.

• A simple, visual way to illustrate your "nervous system states" to yourself and to your children. Using this framework not only helps you become clear about how to identify when you are losing your cool, but it gives you a simple way to communicate how you are feeling with your children as well.

• How to teach your children to communicate how they are feeling, without requiring them to know the exact names of the (often complex) emotions they are feeling.

• A six-step framework for talking about and reflecting about situations where you or your child got really upset and lost control. This is a great way to repair after saying or doing something that you regret, and the more you do this the better you and your kids will become at noticing and expressing your emotions.

So, by now you are probably wondering how much all of this would cost.

Before I share that, what do you think the ability to stay calm is worth to parents?

How much is it worth to be able to decide how you want to respond to your kids, instead of reacting mindlessly and saying and doing things that you end up regretting?

How much is it worth to be able to teach your kids the powerful tools for regulating their own emotions, for them to develop skills that they will be able to use for the rest of their lives in order to make better decisions and respond mindfully and rationally instead of just reacting emotionally?

Now, if you were to book a 1-hour coaching appointment with me, it would cost you at least $100, and I would generally only be able to go over one or two of these tools with you in that time.

In fact, to go over everything in this toolkit will at the very least take over 10 coaching sessions, costing you at least $1000.

But, like I said, I truly believe that the ability to stay calm is a critical skill for all parents to have, a true parenting superpower.

That's why I've decided to put together this Parenting Calm Down Toolkit, so that I could have a cost-effective way to share these powerful tools and techniques with as many parents as possible.

When I spoke to my husband, he told me that he thinks the fairest way to price this toolkit would be to charge the same as I would charge for one hour of coaching - $100.

That felt like a fair price, based on the amount of value in the toolkit, as well as the amount of effort that I put into developing it.

But the truth was that I still felt like I could do better.

Because $100 would still put it outside the reach of many of the parents that need this the most.

So, after a lot of discussing with my husband, we finally decided to lower the price for the Parenting Calm Down Toolkit to...

$47 (USD)

For only $47, you get my most powerful habits for improving your overall ability to stay calm, tools to stay calm in-the-moment, and frameworks for finally taking control of your triggers and accepting your emotions.

For less than $2 a day over the next month, you get access to a lifetime resource to help you take control of your reactions and gain the ability to respond how you want to respond to your children's behavior.

I've put a ton of effort into this toolkit, because I truly believe that the ability to stay calm is at the core of effective parenting.

And I think it will be incredibly helpful for you if...

• You take care of young children, and you have to deal with emotional outbursts, or tantrums, and you want to be able to stay calm and in control when your child is at their worst.

• You often find yourself shouting at your kids because they just frustrate you so much, and then afterwards feel ashamed or regret over how you behaved.

• You want to have the skills and techniques for dealing with difficult emotions, so that you can teach your children to regulate their own emotions.

If this sounds like you...

Then you should definitely get my Parenting Calm Down Toolkit.

Because the truth is, we only have a very short time to create that bond with our children.

They are only young once, and it goes by so quickly.

And the better you are at regulating your own emotions, at staying calm in the face of the endless frustrations of dealing with young kids, the better your connection with your child will be, and the more you'll enjoy these precious years.

In fact, I'm so sure that this toolkit will change your relationship with your kids, that I've decided to take all of the risk away.

As a special bonus, I've included 11 printable posters, worksheets, and reflection questions to help ensure that you'll actually use these tools:

• Printable posters you can put up around your house to remind yourself to use these tools to stay calm and in control.

• A unique Feelings Wheel to guide you in naming and labeling your own and your children's emotions and physical sensations associated with those emotions.

• A special tool that I call Talking About Feelings - Physical Sensations. Use this to help identify and discuss the physical sensations associated with the emotions you feel. This is incredibly powerful both for yourself, but also for talking to your kids about their feelings.

• 3 printable worksheets to help you reflect and explore your emotions and triggers.

• Reflection questions that you can use to understand how you want to respond to your child's behavior, helping you to become a more intentional parent instead of just reacting all the time.

So, the way I see it you have two choices:

Option One - you can decide to go on the way you've always done things. Maybe try to take some of the lessons I've shared on this page, but try to figure out things on your own.

This might work for you, but the truth is that if you keep doing things the same way, you'll very likely end up with the same results. The unfortunate truth is that the way you are behaving now, your ability to stay calm and in-control, will not change unless you learn how to change.

And, as I said, you only have a very short time to build the foundations of your relationship and connection with your child. Believe me, our kids grow up too quickly, and before you realize it they are teenagers and don't want anything to do with us.

The best time to act is right now...

While you still have as much time as possible to build those strong foundations and the deep connection and relationship of trust and respect.

That's why you also have Option Two - to take advantage of this no risk opportunity to gain access my most powerful habits for improving your overall ability to stay calm, tools to stay calm in-the-moment, and frameworks for finally taking control of your triggers and accepting your emotions.

You can start right now to build that foundation of connection and trust with your kids. Start right now to teach them the powerful skills and tools to self-regulate and manage their own reactions to their strong emotions.

There is absolutely no risk to you. You have 60 days to review and try out the tools. In the unlikely event that you feel that it is not for you, simply send me an email, and I'll refund everything you paid, no questions asked and no hard feelings.

Who’s this toolkit for?

My Parenting Calm Down Toolkit is specifically for you if you take care of kids, especially young kids. However, I'm sure that these methods would work for you if you have older kids as well, or even if you don't have any kids.

What is the time commitment?

You can put as much time as you want into this. You can either read through the entire toolkit, or simply choose a technique from each of the three sections, and start practicing that technique as often as you can. Do something each day to take care of yourself, to improve your ability to stay calm. Practice one or two easy ways to calm down in the moment that you can use immediately. And then start reflecting on your strong emotions and why certain things trigger you.
