LEARN HOW TO SUPPORT YOU CHILD THROUGH THEIR HARDEST BEHAVIOURS - the explosion of aggression

You want to help your child feel safe, understood, and supported through their big emotions. But when aggression shows up - through hitting, yelling, raging, attacking energy or defiance - it can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and even shameful. You may even respond with your own scary behaviours and hurtful words and then feel stuck in guilt and shame.

Does this sound familiar?

You're worried your child's aggression is a sign of something "wrong."
You feel judged by family, friends, or strangers when your child lashes out.
You're tired of the constant battle and unsure how to respond without escalating the situation.
You’ve tried punishments, bribery, reasoning, or ignoring the behaviour, but nothing seems to work.

What if aggression isn’t “bad behaviour” but a signal from your child’s nervous system?

In this 2-hour masterclass, you’ll learn to see aggression through a new lens - one rooted in neuroscience, child development, emotional safety, and compassionate parenting. We’ll explore practical, proven ways to support your child (and yourself) during their most challenging moments, helping you feel more grounded and empowered even in the stormiest times.

What You’ll Learn

Understanding aggression as a fight response
- Why aggression is often a sign of overwhelm, fear, or frustration - not a "bad kid "
- The science of the nervous system and how fight energy builds in children.
Why your child isn't broken:
- Reframing your child’s aggressive behaviour as a call for connection, regulation and curiosity
- How this shift can help reduce shame (for you and your child).
The role of your own regulation:
- Why your presence - not perfection- is the most powerful tool for de-escalating aggression.
- You are the most important "tool" - AND it takes time to learn self regulation if you were never modeled it.
- Practical strategies to stay grounded during your child’s emotional storms.
Tools to support your child through aggression:
- Guidance on what to do when your child is in attacking energy.
- How to create safety and help them release fight energy in healthy ways.
- The nuance and complexity of attacking energy
Looking beneath the behaviour:
- Identifying patterns, triggers, and unmet needs that fuel aggression.
- Exploring potential root causes like sensory overwhelm, hunger, or lagging skills. (This will be touched on but not a deep dive as its outside the scope of this masterclass)
Why punishment doesn't work - and what does:
- The long-term impact of punitive responses on the nervous system.
- Connection-based strategies that foster trust and emotional growth.

What You’ll Walk Away With

A deeper understanding of your child’s behaviour and the confidence to respond compassionately.
Tools to help your child through aggressive outbursts with less shame or punishment.
A renewed sense of safety and connection, even on the toughest parenting days.

WHY IS THIS INFORMATION VITAL

Children experiencing verbal and physical aggression can trigger their parents so deeply. It might even bring up your own anger, rage and yes aggression (Ive heard from hundreds of Mums who have hurt their kids in response to aggression and are horrified by their own behaviour).

Even if your child isn't aggressive often, there is every chance it could amplify in some seasons of dysregulation, when there is more stress in the home, when hormones swirl, when painful things happen at school or when they are feeling overstimulated, tired, or something deeper is happening, under the behaviour.

With knowledge, comes power.

This masterclass will prepare you to face these challenges with grounded confidence, helping you feel more present and regulated as you support your child through their emotional storms.

TESTIMONIALS / KIND WORDS

Thank you Alita your course Making Sense of Anger and Aggression has set me on a better path, helping me out of a frustrating loop of anger reaction then, shame and guilt. It has helped me to understand my nervous system and given me the language and guidance to better resource and support myself, so when times get tough I have a far improved chance of staying grounded and present. I understand it is a continual process and I have more compassion for myself when things don't work out. I am so very grateful for the way you held our group it felt very safe, you are always encouraging us to do what we need for us - I love that. Thank you for sharing so many amazing supporting resources. I highly recommend working with Alita she deeply cares about her work, supporting mamas and shares it all in such a welcoming and nourishing circle. Anon.
************************************

This course was beyond my expectations alita. You are so aligned to what I needed. As mentioned, I ceased my therapy with my usual health professional as I gained so much more of what I needed from you. You have become a safe person I would love to continue to access support from. The wisdom I have gained from this course is invaluable. I have taken away more capacity and compassion, and am forever grateful. Everything about you and this course was perfection. Anon.

Alita is a warm, smart, relatable and compassionate facilitator who has alot of learnt and lived experience in parenting sensitive children and navigating anger and aggression. I feel more equipped to recognise and address my iwnand my children's needs in terms of nervous system regulation. Alita's course bought me together with a group of like minded, supportive women who I am grateful for sharing stories and a supportive space with. I highly recommend this course and ahy of Alita's work. Anon.

Alita has been a huge support to me and I would not be the parent I am today without her. I have attended two of her online groups and have come away with a few listening partners and a whole lot of compassion for myself. Alita is making the world a better place for mums and children, and I look forward to her future offerings. E.B

Alita is a very generous, grounded, and knowledgeable parenting coach. During the programme I felt seen, heard and understood. I learnt so much about myself, how to be with myself and my children in difficult moments and to have compassion for myself. Alita offers so much wisdom and knowledge and I loved learning with her. I feel so grateful to be able to bring what I learnt into my life with my children. It has been life changing and I continue to see shifts in myself. This continues to ripple out in many beautiful ways bringing deeper love, connection, compassion for myself, with my children and family. - Cara W

************************************

This has been the most constructive 3-week circle group I have ever been part of. Alita is highly knowledgeable - and knows what she’s talking about as she shared about her own journey of struggle, grief, guilt in motherhood. I felt beyond validated at any given time and it’s been a safe space for me. So many takeaways, useful tools that I’m able to actively use in my own journey of motherhood. Thanks Alita, you are the best. — NB

************************************

Alita - thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity with sharing your wisdom and empathy through the Soothed Mothers Circle. You are a master at holding space and I felt so supported and seen by you and the other amazing women who participated. I took so much from this experience and feel it's really just the start of my journey, but I already feel more grounded, anchored, and able to stay regulated through the daily chaos - Nicky

************************************

Soothed Mothers Circle has been so nurturing for me. I have been stuck in quite a negative place, but the vulnerability and compassion showed by Alita and all the other mothers has lifted my spirit. I wasn’t expecting such a positive outcome, but my whole mindset on my motherhood has changed. I now look for the glimmers every day, and appreciating so much more in my life. I am using tools learnt through this to help self regulate and to help my children with their big emotions. I feel I have made connections with my listening partners and am overall so grateful for this wonderful experience. Thank you Alita. — BK
