The Empowered Parent Program gives parents the tools & support to:
Empowered Parent Pathway Begins with...
Awareness
Great changes come with increased presence. Mindfully approaching life's challenges makes tough parenting moments much easier. In this workshop, you will explore various mindfulness-based activities to increase your resilience through increased awareness and presence.
Healthy Mindset
We can't change others, but we can change our perspective and thoughts towards them, the situation, and ourselves.
In this course, you will participate in various exercises to create new thought patterns, habits, and beliefs to fit your desired role as a parent and support a more joyful approach to parenting while minimizing stress.
Increased Energy
We can't give what we don't have, even though many of us do this to the detriment of our health and well-being.
As parents, we often give from an "empty bucket" rather than an energy "overflow." This has negative health consequences for our nervous system, adrenal fatigue, and burnout.
In this course, you will discover what unconscious behaviors to avoid that needlessly deplete your energy. Then, you will create & put into action a new "positive energy plan" so you connect with your kids from a place of love and joy (striving, not surviving).
Taking this parental growth journey with us will change the prism through which you see yourself as a parent & your child. You will learn & use simple but effective tools & practices to approach everyday situations with more consciousness, connection, and calm.
Why Take this Workshop?
The Empowered Parent Program is designed to address the specific needs & challenges of parents raising children who are differently abled and neurodivergent. However, the knowledge gained is applicable & open to all parents.(We believe in inclusivity for all)
Parent's Feedback
This is something that every parent needs to do for themselves and their children. I did not even realize I needed this course, but I am so grateful I joined.
Rachel
Mom of 2-teens (one with ADHD)
My relationship with my son has completely changed. I have replaced feelings of guilt and resentment with love and acceptance. Thank you!
Ida
Single mother of child with developmental delays
Extremely helpful. Clearly we need to be able to reduce our own stress and stress in the household in order to help the kids reduce theirs.
Tracy
Mother of two with special needs
Dr. Shaffer is not only knowledgeable, but extremely empathetic and relatable. She shares and opens up fearlessly about her own parenting experiences to invite a safe space for parents and caregivers to get support, be heard and get inspired! She is a privilege to meet and learn from. A true gem!
Audray
Mother of a young girl with autism
Excellent resource for parents looking to make that leap from frustration to problem-solving mode. Parents will gain the confidence that working to regulate our own emotions and stress will help us carve out a safer space and a calmer environment for both parents and children to thrive.
