The ten-module, video-based Self-Reg Parenting Course is designed to help parents apply Shanker Self-Reg® in their day-to-day parenting. Register at any time you like to take the content at your own convenience over a 6-month period.
This course is designed for parents to dip their toes into Shanker Self-Reg and learn some of the basics and how they apply to parenting. This course is one of the shortest and best value that we offer, however we do recommend our Foundations Certificate Program, ECD Program and our Facilitator’s Program for those who would like an in depth understanding of Shanker Self-Reg, direct engagement with course content, and the tools to tackle all situations with Self-Reg and soft eyes. Unfortunately, this course is unable to offer clinical advice, nor provide immediate solutions for the application of Self-Reg in extreme circumstances.
The Self-Reg Parenting Program, delivered through TMC’s e-School, explains the principles of Shanker Self-Reg®, and practical ways parents can use Self-Reg to:
gain a whole new understanding of their child’s behaviour and how to respond to it
learn the impacts of excess stress on children’s behaviour and mood
come to grips with their own stress and how it affects their parenting
identify and address the subtle and hidden stressors that affect children in ways that parents might not realize
find out how other parents use Self-Reg strategies to deal with real-life parenting situations and problems
The course material consists of videos which parents can watch at their convenience, and rewatch as often as they like over a 6 month period.
Contributors to the course content include:
Dr. Stuart Shanker, originator of the Self-Reg framework and author of Self-Reg: How to help your child (and you) break the stress cycle and successfully engage with life
Dr. Susan Hopkins, Executive Director of the MEHRIT Centre
Dr. Jean Clinton, a child and adolescent psychiatrist from McMaster University with a special interest in parenting and parent-child relationships
Vicki Parnell, administrator of the Self-Reg Parenting Facebook Group
Dr. Shanker and Susan Hopkins provide the core information on Self-Reg and the five-step Shanker Method®. The course will also show parents how to apply Self-Reg strategies in their day-to-day parenting through videos with Vicki Parnell. It includes videos in which parents share their experiences and “aha moments” of using Self-Reg strategies in a variety of practical real life settings.
