X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join Destinee Kreil&mdash\;Clinical Direct
 or of Strong River Counselling and Expressive Play Therapist&mdash\;for an
  engaging workshop designed for parents and caregivers of children aged 3&
 ndash\;12. Learn the neurobiology behind meltdowns and leave with a practi

 of understanding it.</p>\n<p>Specifically designed for parents and caregiv
 ers of children aged 3&ndash\;12\, this session provides a clear look at t
 he science of childhood emotions. Destinee Kreil will guide you through ho
 w the nervous system works to help you understand why "Big Feelers" strugg
 le with regulation&mdash\;and how you can support them when they are overw
 helmed at any point in the day.</p>\n<p>In this workshop\, you will learn:
 </p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Science of Big Feelings: What is actually happening in
  your child's brain and body when they lose control.</li>\n<li>Co-Regulati
 on Strategies: Practical ways to stay calm and grounded so you can help yo
 ur child de-escalate.</li>\n<li>Effective Communication: What to say durin
 g an emotional outburst to help your child feel safe and understood.</li>\
 n<li>Emotional Regulation Coping Skills: Proactive tools to help your chil
 d manage "end-of-the-day" exhaustion and handle big emotions before they e
 scalate.</li>\n<li>Clinical Q&amp\;A: An opportunity to ask specific quest
 ions and receive professional insight into navigating emotional dysregulat
 ion at home.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Move away from reactive discipline and leave 
 with evidence-based tools to lead your home with more confidence and more 
 calm.</p>\n<p>Professional Bio:</p>\n<p>Destinee Kreil\, MCP\, RCC&nbsp\;<
