Family Nervous System Reset — A Calmer Start to 2026

The holidays can leave both kids and adults overstimulated, overtired, and overloaded. January is the perfect time to reset. This free workshop helps parents and educators understand what’s happening in the body during stress and transition—especially for kids with big feelings.

We’ll explore the sympathetic nervous system, simple vagus-nerve–friendly practices, and everyday routines that bring more regulation, grounding, and connection into home and classroom life. Participants will leave with practical tools to help families and classrooms start the new year with more calm, resilience, and ease.

This workshop is just 30 minutes long. The facilitator will stay on an extra half-hour to address specific issues and questions.
