How to stay calm when things are challenging (Video)

 Staying calm when things aren’t going right is tricky, and even more so when the stressful situation is happening with your child. Esther Jones has shared four ways to keep calm during challenging moments with children, so do watch and try them out when you need them. When we’re able to stay calm and grounded it helps the child to feel safe and trust that things will be okay. It also helps us not to say or do things to make the situation worse.

Many thanks to Esther for taking the time to share her calming ways with us, we’re very grateful as we know this resource will be beneficial to so many of the parents and carers we work with.

As an adoptive mum supporting her son through some challenging times, Sarah Fisher learnt about non–violent resistance (NVR) and adapted it to develop a more holistic approach – Connective Parenting NVR. She now shares the approach with families from across the UK and beyond and also trains other professionals working with families in this approach.

Sarah joined us for our latest #CapaCommunityConnections event to share information about NVR and answer questions. We had a great turnout for this online event, but for those who missed it we recorded it so that everyone can benefit from Sarah’s advice and knowledge in this area.
