Join ParenT(w)een Connection's Trusted Expert, Judith Pinto, as we navigate the challenging, yet crucial, journey of staying calm while supporting your child through meltdowns and emotional dysregulation.

Demystifying "calm": Is it serenity, acceptance, or something else entirely?
How to GET Calm in the first place: Discover practical tools and strategies to cultivate inner peace when faced with your child's storm.
How to STAY calm: Learn how to maintain your composure even when the pressure mounts, setting a powerful example for your child.
How staying calm in the storm allows you to mdel your values: Uncover how staying calm allows you to embody your deepest values and nurture a stronger parent-child connection, even amidst challenging emotions.

About Judith Pinto, in her own words:

I work with perfectionistic Type A Moms who feel distracted, scattered, & overwhelmed. My clients are smart, capable women who struggle with feelings of overwhelm and getting things done - mostly because they have so much to do. Just like me. So I know how to help!

I've got extensive training in Solution-Focused Coaching and NeuroMeditation; a whole load of life experience as a mother, wife, creative soul, musician, career woman, and entrepreneur; plus a 30 year career as a health professional working with children & adults with developmental challenges. I'm also a biologist, naturalist, and animal lover. I loved my evolutionary biology, genetics, and neuroscience courses in my first (Zoology) degree, continue to enjoy time spent in nature and with animals, and have a deep appreciation for the mysteries of the universe. I also continue to love learning about and working with chakras, animal guides, and oracle cards. It's fair to say I have the mind of a scientist and the heart of a mystic.

So, as a Contemplative Practices Coach, you'll find I brew up an artful blend of science and "woo" to help my clients learn how to overcome overwhelm so they can focus on what matters, when it matters most.

People tell me I am a calming presence and my personal stories enliven discussions and serve up insights steeped in relevance and meaning. I also sing and play the Celtic harp. And I LOVE jazz, especially the music of Thelonious Monk.

When your child is struggling at school - or at home - it’s easy to see the challenges as theirs alone. But as parents we can rethink the way we see these hurdles.

We get a chance to look at our role as parents in a big-picture kind of way and reevaluate how we approach their challenges. Looking at our kids with different lenses (or reframes!) gives us a peek into what’s hiding underneath our kids’ challenges - and our reactions to them too.

About ParenT(w)een Connection

When friends of Joe & Clarissa Constantine were going through a REALLY tough patch with their then-15-year-old daughter, the mom said, 'I just wish I had other parents to talk to.' It was like a lightning bolt for Clarissa, and The ParenT(w)een Connection was born. We launched a Facebook group and within a few days had over 100 parents join - talk about proof of concept! We knew we had the potential to make a huge global impact and went to the drawing board to sketch out a vision. As it stands today, we have four unique but interwoven segments:

Teens in the season of choice-making post-graduation might look around and think that other people have life all figured out. Parents understand this is not always the case even among their own peers, but you want to help your teen navigate the pressure & anxiety they feel with confidence & clarity so they can make empowered decisions about their future instead of wasting time and money on a path that may not suit them.

In this conversation, we shine a light on some of the reasons that we don’t have it all figured out yet, how to start making sense of the choices and opportunities available, and how to level up regardless of whether you have it figured out or not. Most people are looking for the same sense of identity, purpose and belonging that our teens and young adults are. There are some simple steps you can take to begin experiencing your ideal self and future right now.Learn more about Sara:

Decision-making, self-confidence, and resiliency are all areas our teens struggle, but it isn’t just our teens who struggle with this - it’s everyone. How do we build these skills? We work on learning about our challenge zone, and how we know when we are or aren’t in the ‘zone.’ Leadership is something we learn and grow into.

In this conversation we talk about when we are in our challenge zone and how we step into that zone - with and without help from others! Join the conversation with Lorraine Connell of Peers Not Fears to learn what our challenge zones are and skills to help yourself and others step into them and step out of our comfort zones.

Teens are under more stress and pressure than ever. Rates of depression, anxiety and suicide are at an all time high for this age group, and they haven’t necessarily developed the skills to cope with school, family and relationship challenges. There is also not one reason that we can point to as to why we have come to a crisis point, there are a myriad. We have to look systemically, holistically and individually to make real change.

About ParenT(w)een Connection

When friends of Joe & Clarissa Constantine were going through a REALLY tough patch with their then-15-year-old daughter, the mom said, 'I just wish I had other parents to talk to.' It was like a lightning bolt for Clarissa, and The ParenT(w)een Connection was born. We launched a Facebook group and within a few days had over 100 parents join - talk about proof of concept! We knew we had the potential to make a huge global impact and went to the drawing board to sketch out a vision. As it stands today, we have four unique but interwoven segments:

Body image.

We hear about it every day, we see it in the media. And our t(w)eens see it, too. The statistics around disordered eating and body image are sobering.

But all is not lost. We CAN change the narrative for our young adults.

Listen in on the conversation we had with Nina Manolson, founder of Body-Peace Coaching. We talked about how to help your teen create a caring and positive relationship with their body, how to counteract the onslaught of idealized beauty standards, and - possibly most critically - the impact that your own relationship with your body is having on your teen and how to shift it.

You say, “WHY WON’T YOU TALK TO ME?”, "I’m really concerned about...", "I have needs and feelings too!"

They say, “WHY DON'T YOU TRUST ME?", "I'm not a little kid anymore!", "You just don't understand..."

You know those times when you and your kid are melting down, everyone is screaming or doors are slamming, and then... dead silence.

How great would it be if the relationship with your adolescent were respectful, thoughtful, and collaborative?

Listen in on the conversation we had with Amy Williams, Founder of Amy Williams Academy. We chatted about how to strengthen connections as your child matures, how to cultivate respect that goes both ways, and how positive phrasing can make a huge impact.

Kat Reese, Life Coach: I began working with kids while attending college. I knew I wanted to help people find their purpose because I wished someone would have helped me. As a teen, I always struggled with knowing if I was making the right decisions and having someone to help me through the tough times. After years of working with children and their families, I got my Master’s in Psychology, emphasis on Life Coaching. I have been trained in many modalities to help people recognize what their body is telling them and how to use those messages to guide them down the right path. I have helped kids become independent in their environment and helped build their self-confidence to go after their goals. https://embracechangewithkat.com/
