Based on the stress we are experiencing, our emotions and meltdown experience will be different. The good news is, once you know what kind of stress you are experiencing, it's quite easy to regain balance with the correct breathwork technique.

Reviews

Really insightful. I like how the focus is on you as a parent and your behaviour. This self improvement not only helps dealing with own “meltdowns” but serves as an example for kids. Enjoyed the course and can take plenty away. Thank you 😊

Extremely helpful!

This is one of the best courses I have taken. The benefit for adults with or without children is tremendous since as was mentioned if you don’t learn as a child.

Excellent in every way. I want to learn and listen over and over again. Thank you immensely. Blessings to you. Namaste.
