Sometimes, the kids in our lives struggle with handling frustration and challenging situations. We can help kids acknowledge and recognize that frustration and challenge are part of life, and we can do something about it. Join Janine Halloran as she shares ideas for what you can say to help kids feel heard and understood, playful activities to encourage handling those frustrating moments, and simple strategies you can introduce to kids to help them handle frustration in healthy ways.

When children struggle to manage anxiety, ADHD, and anger, they may have challenges managing their big feelings. By teaching kids simple, healthy, and safe ways to express their emotions and calm their bodies, they will be better able to focus at school and interact positively throughout their day. Be prepared for experiential learning and movement as we try different coping skills like grounding techniques, breathing exercises, and big body movements we can use with the children and teens in our lives.

We've all had moments when our child or teen erupts with frustration, anger, or aggression. What can we do as caregivers both proactively and in the moment to help our kids (and ourselves) navigate these big emotions? Join Janine Halloran, LMHC as she provides practical tips to parents and caregivers on how to help kids and teens cope with big feelings. By starting from a foundation of connection and co-regulation, Janine will provide helpful strategies you can teach your kids (and yourself) for noticing, welcoming, and neutralizing big emotions before they take over the household.

Meltdowns, outbursts, and other challenging behaviors can be exhausting for both kids and parents. Join us and discover how you can help your kids develop the skills they need to understand and express their emotions and self-regulate their behavior. We’ll discuss practical strategies to help you uncover the cause of your child’s challenging behavior, understand how you can help your child before, during, and after a meltdown, teach your child how to express their feelings, and provide your child with effective self-regulation techniques.

We know…self-care matters. But let’s be honest, there are lots of things that may get in the way. It’s hard to find the time and energy to actually use those self-care strategies we all know about. Or maybe you struggle with even knowing what skills work for you. Join Janine Halloran, a bestselling author and an experienced Licensed Counselor whose passion is helping people find and use their coping skills. She’ll walk through how you can be intentional about your mental health, and help you start to create a mental wellness routine that you’ll actually use.
