the managing meltdowns academy
less than 3 hours to a more regulated home.
Empowering you to help your kid learn to self-regulate
Less frequent, less intense, and shorter meltdowns
MMA is the course designed to help parents navigate meltdowns in a way that they can feel good about; one that increases connection and teaches self-regulation skills… decreasing the intensity, duration, and frequency of the meltdowns so everyone can breathe a little easier.
The course that supports you while supporting your kid.
when you’re walking on eggshells in your own home, afraid to set your kid off.
when you keep doing “what you’re supposed to” and it’s just not working, or even escalates your kid (“i can validate their emotions endlessly and it doesn’t seem to do anything other than make them more mad.”).
when it feels like your kid melts down over the seemingly tiniest of things
when it feels like your kid just can’t get out of it when they melt down… like it can ruin the whole day.
when you find yourself yelling, bribing, taking things away, etc in those big moments and that’s not how you want to do it.
when you find yourself at a loss of what to do when your kid is melting down in the middle of the store. or the park. or a restaurant. or at home. or anywhere else.
when you just want to feel a little lighter, a little less on edge in your own home (guess what, your kid does too).
when something has to change.

Hi! I’m Hayden.
I got my start as a school counselor supporting BIG behaviors. I’m now a Synergetic Play Therapist specializing in meltdowns, anxiety, and big, overwhelming emotions.
Oh… and have 3 little kids of my own…
So… I’ll just say that I get it.
Managing meltdowns has been my world for the last 7 years.
what’s included

Listen… I get it. One of the most frustrating things is feeling like your kid’s behavior makes no sense. And these modules are about making sense of those behaviors through an understanding of what is happening inside their body… both in their brain and the activation of their nervous system. Because with that, when the behaviors suddenly make sense, we can have a bit more compassion and simultaneously know what we can do to support them.
By exploring and understanding what is going on inside your kid’s body in those difficult moments, so that we can begin to understand what we can do to support them.

We’ll deep dive into the concept of regulation - both for yourself and your child. By understanding these concepts, we can begin to piece together an intentional response to meltdowns. One in which you are more able to stay regulated, and therefore be intentional about the way you are responding to meltdowns. One in which you have ideas and strategies of what to do in those big, overwhelming moments. One in which you begin to feel empowered to support your kid through their big emotions…so that their emotions don’t have to feel as big.

If you have no idea how to support a meltdown, find yourself repeating generational cycles, or just worry nothing you do is helping, this will be your favorite section yet. This is the section of the academy in which you will learn HOW to respond. Through our work here, you will walk away with a toolbox of strategies, so that you know EXACTLY how to support a meltdown in a way you feel good about, and have ideas and strategies of how to switch things up when you find yourself starting to lose your cool. You will learn the ins and outs of responding to a meltdown in a way that helps to keep you regulated and intentional, so that you can teach your kid how to navigate those rough waters.

Course FAQ
-
While I specialize in working with younger children in my play therapy practice, I’m not working with your child in this course (& I’m not providing therapy)! The information contained in this course is an understanding of the HUMAN brain and nervous system, and as such, can be applied to any age (I mean in a chunk of the course I ask you to apply the info to yourself). While things may look different with different aged kiddos, the information can help inform our responses regardless. So all that to say, this course goes a whole lot deeper than just “do it like exactly as I tell you.”
-
Absolutely! The course is not meant to be shared (& I’d very much appreciate you not doing so), AND when you purchase the course, it is yours to use to support your child or children! That means feel free to have your child’s support team complete the course (parents/caregivers, nanny/babysitter, grandparents). When it comes to people outside of your child’s direct support system, if you loved the course, please feel free to pass along the discount code “FRIEND” and they will get 8% off their own purchase of MMA!

You’ll have lifetime access to the course. Better yet, I’ll add and update topics over time so the course will continue to evolve and grow.
