Special FREE Grown-Up Program while children are cared for by Sitting Made Simple:
“When Love Feels Loud: Parenting Little Kids Without Losing Yourself”
Parenting toddlers and preschoolers can be magical… and completely overwhelming.
If you’ve ever hidden in the bathroom for 90 seconds of quiet, Googled “Is this normal?” at midnight, or wondered why such a tiny person can trigger such big reactions in you — you are not alone.
In this 25–30 minute interactive workshop, Jennifer Schrappe LPCC-S, Clinical Counselor, experienced speaker, and mom - shares what no one talks about enough: the emotional toll of early parenting — and what actually helps.
You’ll walk away with:
- A clear understanding of why this stage feels so intense
- Validation that your stress, guilt, and frustration are normal
- Practical, research-informed tools to regulate yourself (even during meltdowns — theirs or yours)
- Simple strategies you can use immediately at home
- This isn’t about being a perfect parent. It’s about becoming a steadier one.
