👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 **Free Online Parenting Class – Join Us Every Monday!**

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual—but support and insight can make all the difference.

Our **True Insight Parenting Strategies (TIPS) Class** is a free online class designed to help parents better understand their children while also learning more about themselves. This class explores how our own experiences and relationships influence the way we respond to our kids, often without us even realizing it.

Through this class, parents will learn:
🧠 How children’s brains grow and develop
❤️ How attachment shapes relationships with our kids
⚡ How stress affects both parents and children
🛠 Practical tools to improve emotional awareness and self-regulation
🤝 Proven strategies that help strengthen family relationships

📅 **Every Monday**
⏰ **5:30 PM – 7:00 PM**
💻 **Online via Zoom**

Together we explore brain-based and attachment-focused approaches such as collaborative problem solving, play-based connection, and trust-based relationship strategies to help families thrive.

✨ **Open to parents and caregivers who want to build stronger, healthier relationships with their children.**

Message us to learn how to join!
