Does saying: “Sit on this step!” Go to your room! Calm down!” help? Understanding anger mountain, temper tantrums, & time outs will.
What can you do to get your child to stop being so angry? What helps when your child has a temper tantrum? Do time-outs work? Why or why not? Time outs are a long-standing parenting tool; however, they may not be effective for every child. What else can a parent do? What helps your child get up and over anger mountain?
This parenting talk will explain what happens and what you can do to help everybody when there are “big emotions.” Temperament plays a big role in the expression of emotions, so does your relationship with your child both now and in the future. You will get some tips that will help de-escalate big emotions and find out why toddlers and preschoolers have so many temper tantrums.
This will be a LIVE event on Zoom with real questions, real answers, and real voices. This talk will be presented in a respectful, non-judgmental, and encouraging manner. It will be a guided tour of online resources, mixed with discussion and group coaching.

At the end of the parenting talk, parents will have the opportunity to “Ask the Parent Coach” questions.
This talk will be given by Jennifer Watanabe, a long-time Parent Educator and Parent Coach. She is the mom of two grown sons. Some of her previous students have included parents of toddlers and preschoolers at Bellevue College in Washington state. She recently retired from the college after more than 20 years of teaching.
Jennifer is an encourager. She continues to work as a parent coach and to teach in private practice. She works with parents who have questions about parenting. They may be overwhelmed by parenting or life’s challenges. Some parents who are having a hard time may need more understanding of what they are going through, more support and more grace. Parents who are struggling may need more resources, someone to talk to, and a fresh perspective. They need less criticism, less guilt and less self-blaming.
This is Jennifer’s guiding principle: Parenting and growing up are together experiences. Parenting is an experience that parents have with their children. Growing up is an experience that children have their parents. How parenting and growing up happen is at the heart of the parent-child relationship that develops over the years. There are two sides to this relationship: the parent’s side and the child’s side. The quality of this relationship determines the quality of life in the family.
