Parenting is a challenging (and rewarding!) full-time job. It is also a job with minimal training and so many different approaches that it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out what is the best approach. The Empowered Parent Toolkit (EPT) does a great job of providing a straightforward and comprehensive framework for how to approach parenting in a way that builds your skills and tools as a parent, and supports your child's development of emotion regulation skills. Dr. Sarah Crystal is incredibly knowledgeable and has built a great toolkit for parents to have an organized and consistent parenting approach. She is accessible and responsive and the more you do the work, the more you will see results. As a parent of two children under 5, it has been a great time to do the EPT and work on building a solid foundation. The reality is, parenting is work, but the EPT has helped me and my family have an organized system in how we support our kids and build their skills toward healthy functioning in the future. It has reduced my own stress in being able to have routines that work, approaches to meltdowns (the frequency has decreased), and ways to build my children's skills. Would definitely recommend at whatever point of the parenting journey you are on.
