Understanding Your Child's Anger: A Workshop for Parents Navigating Co-Parenting Challenges

Finding Connection Through the Storm – A 2-Hour Learning Experience

Date: 28th of June 2025

Time:- 4 pm - 6 pm BST (11 am EST / 5 pm CET / 8 am PST )

£50

When your child returns from time with their other parent, you might notice they're more dysregulated, more aggressive, or simply harder to connect with. You find yourself wondering why their anger seems directed at you when you're doing everything you can to be their safe space.

This pattern is more common than you might think, and it doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong.

What This Workshop Offers

In these two hours together, we'll explore the deeper understanding behind children's aggressive behaviour, particularly when they're navigating challenging family dynamics.

We'll Gently Explore:

The Trauma Response in Children – Understanding how children's nervous systems respond to inconsistent or challenging environments

Why Safe Spaces Sometimes Trigger Big Emotions – Learning about the phenomenon where children feel safe enough to finally release stored tension

The Confusion Children Experience – How conflicting messages between homes create internal struggles they can't yet articulate

Your Own Nervous System's Role – Discovering how your emotional state impacts your child's ability to regulate

Practical Approaches that honour both your child's needs and your own well-being

This Workshop May Resonate with You If:

• Your child seems angrier with you than with their other parent 

• You're co-parenting with someone who has narcissistic traits or behaviors or a diagnosed Narcissist

 • Traditional discipline approaches aren't working for your family 

• You find yourself taking your child's behavior personally 

• You want to understand what's really happening beneath the surface

 • You're looking for trauma-informed approaches to parenting

What We'll Learn Together:

Understanding the Patterns

The "Safe Parent" Dynamic – Why children sometimes direct their biggest emotions toward their most trusted caregiver

Trauma Responses in Children – Recognizing fawn responses, identity confusion, and loyalty conflicts

The Transition Challenge – What happens in a child's nervous system when moving between different environments

The Language of Behavior – Learning to see aggression as communication rather than defiance

Gentle, Practical Approaches

Nervous System Awareness – Simple ways to help both you and your child find regulation

Holding Space Techniques – How to be present with big emotions without becoming overwhelmed yourself

Building Safety – Creating an environment where your child can process their experiences

Self-Care for Parents – Recognizing that your well-being directly impacts your ability to support your child

The Realities We'll Address

Common Experiences in Complex Co-Parenting:

Post-Visit Dysregulation: When your child returns more activated or withdrawn after time with their other parent

Mixed Messages: How children struggle when they receive different messages about themselves in different homes

Loyalty Struggles: The internal conflict children feel when they sense tension between their parents

Boundary Challenges: What happens when a child's developing sense of self isn't consistently respected

The Exhale Effect: Understanding that your home might be where your child finally feels safe enough to "fall apart"

A Note About Realistic Expectations

This workshop won't promise overnight transformations or magic solutions. Healing from family trauma takes time, patience, and often professional support beyond what any single workshop can provide.

What it will offer is understanding, practical tools, and a sense of direction for your journey. You'll leave with insights that can help you respond more consciously to your child's behavior and take better care of yourself in the process.

I've seen how one parent's commitment to understanding and growth can create profound positive change in a family system, even when the other parent isn't participating in that growth.

The reality is that you can only control your own responses and healing – and sometimes, that's enough to make a meaningful difference.

A Gentle Invitation

If you're feeling overwhelmed, confused, or heartbroken by your child's behavior, please know that seeking understanding is an act of love – both for your child and for yourself.

This workshop is for parents who are ready to look beneath the surface of challenging behaviors and learn approaches that honor both their child's needs and their own well-being.

You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be willing to learn and grow alongside your child.

Final Thoughts

Your child's anger isn't about you – it's about their pain, their confusion, and their need for safety and understanding. When you can hold space for their big emotions without taking them personally, you become a source of stability in their world.

This work isn't easy, and it's not always fair. But it's some of the most important work you can do.

You're already doing better than you think. Let's build on that foundation together. 

"When there's at least one parent who can do this work – the inner work, the healing work, the conscious parenting work – children not only survive, they thrive. I invite you to be that parent."
