I have been working on something for a while and it is almost ready.
It is a 16-module course for parents of preschool-aged children.
Not a course full of advice you already know. One that starts with you, your nervous system, your self-blame, the voice in your head, and then moves gently into your child's development.
Because I kept meeting parents who were not 'bad' parents like they think they are. They are depleted ones. And depleted parents need something different to what is currently on offer.
Before I launch it properly I am running a free live webinar on Monday 15 June at 10am where I will walk you through the first module, share the science, and answer your questions.
It is free. It is one hour. And if it resonates you can grab the course at the early bird price of $79 before midnight on Sunday 14 June.
Registration link is in the comments. Come and see if it feels right for your family.
