Parenting Talks & Workshops
in the Greater Toronto Area

When Children don’t come with a user manual.

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual either— and even when you try your best, you often wonder:

“Am I doing enough?”
“Why is my child reacting this way?”

You might be feeling exhausted, guilty, or unsure how to respond to children’s big feelings or challenging behaviors.

You’re not alone — every parent and educator faces moments of doubt. These talks and workshops are designed to help you see both your children and yourself with more compassion.

That’s why the Children-Inside-Out Series was created

a series of warm, playful, evidence-based talks and workshops designed for parents, educators, and community members who support children ages 0–12.

What I love to offer

A collection of playful, practical, and research-backed interactive talks and workshops supports parents and caregivers in understanding what children’s behaviors are really communicating — how they can respond in ways that build emotional awareness, secure attachment, and resilience.

Some questions that you may have...

Who are these talks for?

These talks are designed for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who supports children ages 0-12.

Do I need LEGO experience for Learn-through-play Workshop?

Not at all! These workshops are designed for all parents and children — no building skills required, just curiosity and openness to play and learn.

Are the talks lecture-style or interactive?

They’re highly interactive — I use stories, reflection prompts, hands-on activities, and facilitated LEGO play to make the learning experience engaging and practical.

How long is each talk or workshop?

Each talk or workshop lasts about 60–90 minutes, depending on your group size and format.

Can the talks be customized?

Absolutely. The talk can be tailored to your school, daycare, or community theme — such as emotional regulation, body safety, transitions, or parent–child relationships.

Can I join with my partner or grandparents?

All family members are welcome — it’s a wonderful way to build shared language and skills at home.
