A place for parents who are raising children with big feelings
S.O.S.
If you’re here, you’re probably searching for a way to support or simply survive your child’s big feelings. You might be looking for a way to help them come back to calm faster, to minimize meltdowns and outbursts, or to just get through to your child.
Parenting isn’t easy, especially when you’re raising strong-willed, highly sensitive children. If you’re anything like me, you feel like you’ve tried everything, but nothing is clicking. It’s like being stuck on a hamster wheel, using up all of your energy, but getting nowhere.
If you feel like you have no idea what do, I’m here to tell you it’s ok. Even though it doesn’t feel like it right now, it will get better. I can teach you a method that can transform your child’s core belief system. The end result is a happier, calmer child and a happier, calmer family.
The CalmTalk Method® empowers parents to become skilled communicators so that they become the one that builds resilience in their own children; reaching what’s really going on for their child, beneath the surface.
The CalmTalk Method is a neuro-science led approach that helps parents calm their child’s big emotions- not by managing behavior, but by rewiring the subconscious beliefs that drive them.
It works while your child sleeps and while they are awake and allows you to speak to the part of their brain where shame, fear and not-good-enough stories live- so they can finally feel safe, secure, and calm inside, without long conversations, therapy resistance or relying on them to know why they feel the way that they do
It’s about rewiring the voice inside the child’s mind- so they no longer feel broken, too much or not enough. The CalmTalk Method® is a compassionate, language-based coaching method designed to heal the underlying emotional drivers of children’s challenging behaviours, symptoms and feelings. It goes beyond surface symptoms by addressing nervous system regulation and repairing the deep shame that disrupts self-belief, regulation and connection. (Bunting, Jen - calmtalkmethod.com)
The CalmTalk™ Method
Happier Kids
Using The CalmTalk Method® we have the ability to create a new core belief system for our children that they are loved and accepted, exactly the way they are through neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change, adapt and rewire itself, creating new neuropathways . Over time these new, positive neuropathways replace the old, negative pathways.
These transformations happen because The CalmTalk Method® addresses the deep nervous system needs beneath behavior- repairing shame and fostering emotional safety at the core. When parents and coaches learn to speak The CalmTalk Method®, they unlock a new pathway to healing that many traditional approaches miss. (Bunting, Jen - calmtalkmethod.com)
The magic part about this is that as we’re doing this for our children, we start creating new neuropathways as well. Without you realizing, all of a sudden you’re able to better handle your child’s big emotions, which in turn, further drives home their new belief system that they are enough and loved just as they are. It’s a win, win!
Our brains are plastic.
Our brains are much more flexible than we give them credit for. Neuroplasticity allows us to constantly mold, change, and ultimately rewire our brains to adopt new emotional responses and belief systems. We create new neuropathways everyday, especially in childhood.
Through life experiences, we create core beliefs that are the driving force behind our behaviors and emotions. We all have established beliefs about ourselves, some that are pretty negative. Think of one negative belief you have about yourself, like an insecurity or something you’re not super pumped about. Now imagine someone compliments you on that exact belief. While receiving the compliment feels good, does it change the way you feel at your core? It would take a lot of consistent experiences to eliminate the negative beliefs we have about ourselves.
Through The CalmTalk Method®, you have the ability to speak directly your child’s deep unconscious mind without the conscious brain’s established judgements and beliefs getting in way. It’s like clearing out the debris, making a clean pathway straight to their core. By consistently using The CalmTalk Method®, you’re able to create a calm, safe place in your child’s mind, with a brand new, positive core belief system.
My love for this method
Hi, I’m Heather, accredited CalmTalk® Practitioner, and mother of two strong-willed, highly emotional children.
I found the Jen Bunting, founder of The CalmTalk® Method, during a desperate search to find the right support for my daughter. She was having meltdowns lasting upwards of an hour, multiple times a day - getting stuck in freeze responses and self-loathing cycles. We read books, tried different types of therapy, tried every new parenting technique available, and we still weren’t seeing any significant changes.
Our daughter’s meltdowns were heartbreaking, and her emotional state was dictating our family’s daily life. We were living in chaos, stuck between helping her come back to calm and running around trying to avoid anything that would trigger her big, emotional responses. We felt exhausted and hopeless.
Less than two weeks in, we started to see powerful changes in our daughter’s overall happiness and confidence. I’ll never forget the day she walked into the room with a smile on her face, and completely unprompted said, “I love myself.” This was coming from a child whose negative self-talk was gut-wrenching. We were in disbelief.
The shift in our daughter’s emotional health continued to grow well-beyond our expectations. About six weeks into using this method, we realized we couldn’t remember the last time she even had a meltdown. The very thing that held us hostage for so long, all of a sudden became a thing of the past.
The CalmTalk® Method allowed us to get down to the root cause of her behaviors rather than treating the symptoms; which was completely unique from anything we had tried before.
This process has fully transformed our family in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I am thrilled to be able to share this life-changing process with families all over the world. It might seem hard to picture right now, but I’m here to tell you that it truly is all going to be okay.
