parenting workshops
Parenting can be one of the most extraordinary, fulfilling experiences. It’s also demanding in ways that are truly hard to imagine. From sleep deprivation, to your baby’s smelly diaper leaking on your work outfit (been there), to dealing with a tantrum as you’re trying to leave the house because you have to get to a meeting on time, to homework battles, to tired children negotiating bed time -- sometimes all in one day! And, parenting teens brings with it a different set of challenges.
Dr. Ryger's Parenting Workshops help parents learn the tools and strategies to address modern day challenges. Parenting Stress Solutions is designed to help parents with tools and strategies addressing different developmental stages. Understanding what’s happening in your child’s brain and yours can help guide your responses towards moments of connection and attunement in the service of growth and regulation.

teen workshops
Managing stress, school performance expectations, and navigating the “friend-scape” with the pressures of Snapchat and Instagram, selfies, and texting are really tough. Being a teenager now is not the same as it was for their parents who didn’t grow up on Planet Tech. These Teen Workshops were designed with input by teens--by asking teens what was going on and what they needed. The teens had a lot to say, even the ones who were supposed to be “quiet”.
