"DE-ESCALATE" DROP-OFF &
Enjoy a peaceful and positive "goodbye" at school or child care
with your toddler or preschooler
Leaving your child at school or child care can feel really hard.
Especially when your child is crying, clinging to you, or running after you as you try to leave.Â
Your heart hurts and you feel like a sh*t mom as you cry in the car after finally walking away. đ đ
A kind, calm, and connected drop-off is closer than you think. ⏠⏠âŹ
"DE-ESCALATING DROP-OFF"
Â
is a 20 minute mini course that offers you 10 ways to prepare you AND your child for a peaceful and positive goodbye. âŽď¸ đ
It's your dream drop-off game plan for a calm, caring, and connected goodbye and fewer tears for either of you.
Can "gentle parenting" even work in a tough moment like drop-off?
The ideas and strategies youâll learn in "DE-ESCALATING DROP-OFF" are an example of a âbalanced parentingâ approach. Â
My version of balanced parenting is a combination of:
- Gentle and respectful parenting and
- Helpful ideas from the Montessori philosophyÂ
So that you can honor your child and their feelings while also offering them structure, support, and guidance to help them transition into their day.
Without raising your voice, bribing your child đ to calm down, or feeling like youâre going to be stuck there forever in everyoneâs escalating emotions.
