Abstract

Many parents and caregivers lack access to information and support that accurately relates effective parenting styles, without this knowledge caregivers and parents may unintentionally rely on reactive responses that end up escalating conflict with their child rather than resolving it. When parents respond to their child's big emotions without effective tools to first regulate themselves, they risk contributing to higher stress levels, emotional withdrawal, and behavioral dysregulation in their children. Research consistently demonstrates that when parents are given the tools to successfully incorporate self-regulation skills and evidence-based approaches to guide children through difficult emotions, both the child and the parent relationship as well as the child's outcomes in emotional regulation, improve significantly. In order to address this need, a workshop titled Raising Regulated Moms was designed and presented for a mother's group meeting at the home of the group member affiliated with Calvary Monterey Church in Monterey, California.
