for parents with children of ALL ages because you never stop parenting
IT'S TIME TO TRY A DIFFERENT WAY
There's an easier way to bring calm, connection, fewer meltdowns and less anxiety to your your relationship with your children and partner.
The key to a calmer family home lies in understanding your emotional reactions to your child's big emotions, and how to maintain a self-regulated state, so behaviour doesn't escalate causing disharmony, guilt and shame.
Here’s the secret that most parents don’t know when it comes to having calmer, more connected family home…
More than anything else, it’s:
✓ YOUR state of calm
✓ YOUR ability to not be triggered
✓ YOUR ability to manage your own emotions
✓ And understanding the ROOT of your child's challenging behaviour
that determines how challenging behaviour is resolved, how anxiety is soothed, and how your children can find stability amongst the chaos.
Parenting does NOT have to be all about:
-
Frustration
-
Shouting
-
Disagreements
-
Pressure
-
Competition
-
Lack of time
-
Confusion
-
Emotional rollercoasters
-
Exhaustion...
You get to learn a more mindful way of parenting, understanding behaviour through the lens of nervous system regulation and using the 4 C's: curiosity, connection, co-regulation and compassion, so you can break the cycle of authoritarian parenting: threats, consequences, punishment and shame. That is real generational wealth!
I know, it sounds almost too simple to be true…
But not only does the evidence support this new way of parenting, I’ve seen this work time and again with the parents I've worked with, the young students I've taught, and also in my relationship with my own children.
When you know how to notice your triggers and self-regulate, then supporting your dysregulated child to change their behaviour becomes easier, and you’ll transform your home life for all of you.
The Parent Reset Program supports you to increase awareness, develop emotional literacy skills, learn calm down strategies, and support your child's big emotions through co-regulation
PSA: Okay, let's get really honest:
​
✓ Your children are going to have tantrums
✓ They are going to talk back
✓ They will resist your suggestions
✓ They won't meet all of your expectations
✓ They will have anxiety, panic and fear
And you need to accept this is part of modern parenting, even if it wasn’t okay for you when you were growing up.
But you don't have to meet them at their dysregulated state.
In this program, you learn that parenting does NOT have to be all about:
frustration, shouting, disagreements, pressure, competition, lack of time, confusion, emotional rollercoasters, exhaustion...
You get to learn a new way, so you can teach a new way!
Hi, I'm Amanda
When I stared my practice as a clinical Nutritionist, I loved working with the body, especially the nervous system. My personal and clinical practice gave me a strong indication that the nervous system runs the show: physically, mentally, emotionally. It dictates your choices, and your child's choices. Understanding how to pay attention or 'attune' to your 'state' i.e. where are you on the scale of regulation / dysregulation can support you to stay calm and grounded when your child is experiencing their big emotions. But how do you maintain that calm, regulated state in moments of activation because parenting is constant activation?!
Thinking your way through it doesn't work. If we want to develop emotional regulation skills, and pass that onto our children, we have to work with the nervous system and brain together to cultivate the skill of self-regulation. And that's why I took my clinical practice deeper, so I could teach nervous system regulation to parents because modern world children need us to collectively move away from authoritarian parenting tactics of threats, consequences, punishment, shame to mindful parenting tactics using the 4 C's: curiosity, connection, co-regulation and compassion. And those actions can only be shared from a calm, regulated state.
​
When we can notice and modify our reactions to our children's behaviour, and not blame our emotionally immature kids for their inability to regulate their big emotions, parenting gets a lot easier!
I have my own personal practice in nervous system regulation which included mindfulness, breathwork and somatic work. This allows me to hold onto the clarity and stability I need as a parent to navigate myself and my children through meltdowns and big dysregulated moments.
​
All of this helps us as parents, to be present with our children and see them for who they uniquely are, tantrums, talk back and everything. This is a life changer!

You've noticed that shouting at your children doesn’t actually make them stop acting up, and doesn't make YOU feel good either.
​

​
You're stressed, tired, feeling worn down and not completely yourself.
​
You constantly argue with your partner about parenting and domestic duties.
​
When your child doesn’t listen, you use consequences and/or rewards to get them to follow suit.
​
You're a people pleaser and struggle to set boundaries.
You distract and over-plan yours and your child’s life so you aren’t actually able to be present and enjoy the moment
