Does Your Child Struggle With...

  • Hitting and aggressive behavior? Some awful words being spoken?

  • Depressionanxietysleeping, negative thoughts toward self?

  • Defiant behavior and talking back when told to do something or not do something and having major meltdowns?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

We’re here to help! Our experienced counselors at Butterfly Beginnings have created this live online course, “Being With,” just for parents like you!

Find Out What Your Child’s Behavior REALLY Is And How To Change It.

Being With: A Course for Parents Dealing with Big, Baffling Behaviors is based on the science of being relationally, socially, and behaviorally human. This course will help your child’s behavior make sense- even the ones that don’t.  You’ll become equipped with interventions, tools, and techniques that actually work! And in this no-shameno-blame approach to parenting, you’ll finally understand why knowing is only half the battle. The course is strategically designed so you don’t just learn a bunch of parenting tools and techniques. By the end, you’ll actually be able to implement the powerful techniques you’ll learn.

The Three Core Tenets Of This Course

1. Behavior is Just A Clue
2. We All Need Connection To Survive
3. Kids Who Feel Safe Behave Well

It’s what we see on the outside that gives us some information about what might be happening on the inside.

If your child behaves in a way that makes us not want to be connected to them, we can pause and ask, “What’s up with that?”

To change children’s behaviors, we will look for ways to increase regulation, connection, and felt-safety.  

Course Outline (What You'll Learn)

To change children’s behaviors, we will look for ways to increase regulation, connection, and felt-safety.  

Using the science of being relationally, socially, and behaviorally human, this section will demystify the most baffling behaviors.  You’ll change how to see and interpret your child’s behavior.  That change will become the most powerful tool in your parenting toolbox.

Your parenting toolbox will be stuffed with brain, body, and sensory strategies that actually work. These techniques will strengthen your child’s nervous system and decrease baffling behaviors.  Better yet, by the end of this section, you’ll know which interventions to use and when.    .

You aren’t a bad parent, so what happens between learning new parenting skills and actually using those new parenting skills?  Section 3 will grow your tolerance for baffling behaviors so you can parent the way that you want to. 

"My child asked for something on the computer right before dinner time. I said dinner is a few minutes away, let’s do it after dinner. He stomped away grumbling under his breath and banging into everything... He turned around, came downstairs and said, “Momma, can you help me get my anger out?”

"My child had his first meeting today and it was so helpful and positive. He was beaming from ear to ear. He just needs someone outside of the family to talk to that cares. He wanted to come back tomorrow! Thank you for taking the time to listen to him. He was so happy and excited for the next meeting."
