Michelle Carter-Grogan | DorsetHello everyone!
My name is Michelle and I am a mum of 2 (Hollie, 8 and Rowan, 3) living in Weymouth, Dorset. I am delighted to be offering ToddlerCalm workshops and courses in Weymouth, Dorchester, Bridport and the surrounding areas. I have been a primary school teacher for 13 years and have always had a passion for developing the social and emotional well being of children and young people. I have worked across a variety of settings offering parent support and am super excited to now be part of CalmFamily! michellecartergrogan@calmfamily.org | 07977998878 | Calming Connections on Facebook |
Information and Classes available
We all want to give our little ones the absolute best start in life but how do we choose from the wealth of parenting information that bombards us everyday ?
So many different approaches, so many well meaning friends and family telling us what we "should" be doing and so much "advice" at our fingertips, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to say the least! That is certainly how I have felt for a lot of my parenting journey!
In a Calm Family workshop, I will share evidence based research for a range of techniques and tools that will empower you, as the parent/s (and person who knows your child the best!), to make informed choices on how to raise your beautiful little people. We offer support and education in friendly and relaxed sessions, across a range of topics including sleep, behaviour, play and development and eating.
I am pleased to be able to offer the following sessions:
**ToddlerCalm Understanding Behaviour Workshop**
2 x 2hour sessions
Do you ever wonder why your toddler behaves the way that they do?
Are you facing tricky tantrums or other tricky behaviours such as hitting or biting?
This workshop will help you to understand your toddler's brain development and how this affects their behaviour, emotions and relationships. We'll also give you new ideas for handling common toddler issues.
