It can be difficult working with parents who are resistant to new ideas and solutions. You’re offering support and resources, but some parents can seem stuck in negativity. These parents may be experiencing blocked care, which is a self-protective mechanism in the nervous system, triggered by extreme stress. They’re not bad parents; they’re stuck in a defensive posture towards their children. In this session, gain the tools you need to help parents prevent and overcome blocked care. You can be the key for helping parents renew their hope.
