Join ParenT(w)een Connection's Trusted Expert, Judith Pinto, as we navigate the challenging, yet crucial, journey of staying calm while supporting your child through meltdowns and emotional dysregulation.




Demystifying "calm": Is it serenity, acceptance, or something else entirely?
How to GET Calm in the first place: Discover practical tools and strategies to cultivate inner peace when faced with your child's storm.
How to STAY calm: Learn how to maintain your composure even when the pressure mounts, setting a powerful example for your child.
How staying calm in the storm allows you to mdel your values: Uncover how staying calm allows you to embody your deepest values and nurture a stronger parent-child connection, even amidst challenging emotions.


About Judith Pinto, in her own words:

I work with perfectionistic Type A Moms who feel distracted, scattered, & overwhelmed. My clients are smart, capable women who struggle with feelings of overwhelm and getting things done - mostly because they have so much to do. Just like me. So I know how to help!

​

I've got extensive training in Solution-Focused Coaching and NeuroMeditation; a whole load of life experience as a mother, wife, creative soul, musician, career woman, and entrepreneur; plus a 30 year career as a health professional working with children & adults with developmental challenges. I'm also a biologist, naturalist, and animal lover. I loved my evolutionary biology, genetics, and neuroscience courses in my first (Zoology) degree, continue to enjoy time spent in nature and with animals, and have a deep appreciation for the mysteries of the universe. I also continue to love learning about and working with chakras, animal guides, and oracle cards. It's fair to say I have the mind of a scientist and the heart of a mystic.

​

So, as a Contemplative Practices Coach, you'll find I brew up an artful blend of science and "woo" to help my clients learn how to overcome overwhelm so they can focus on what matters, when it matters most.

​

People tell me I am a calming presence and my personal stories enliven discussions and serve up insights steeped in relevance and meaning. I also sing and play the Celtic harp. And I LOVE jazz, especially the music of Thelonious Monk.

About ParenT(w)een Connection

When friends of Joe & Clarissa Constantine were going through a REALLY tough patch with their then-15-year-old daughter, the mom said, 'I just wish I had other parents to talk to.' It was like a lightning bolt for Clarissa, and The ParenT(w)een Connection was born. We launched a Facebook group and within a few days had over 100 parents join - talk about proof of concept! We knew we had the potential to make a huge global impact and went to the drawing board to sketch out a vision. As it stands today, we have four unique but interwoven segments:



Trusted Expert Network: Think Angie's List, but specifically featuring professionals who support families with kids between the ages of 10 and 20. If you're a parent, browse the listings to find professionals who can support you. If you're a professional, join what will become the world's largest network geared toward connecting you with other professionals who support the same clients. https://www.parentweenconnection.com/trustedexperts



ParenT(w)een Village: Joining our Facebook group is a GREAT first step!

Local Communities: It's one thing to connect with other parents online; it's another to be able to get together in person and build even more supportive relationships. Our local communities & events will be managed by local professionals who are dedicated to cultivating relationships with parents & other professionals in their geographical area.



ParenT(w)een Foundation: It's one thing to say, 'Hey, look at all these awesome professionals who can help you & your family.' But if finances are an obstacle to working with these pros, that's not okay in our book. We want to help you get the help you need. Learn more at www.parentweenconnection.com/foundation



As we grow, it's our mission to help families avoid many of the difficulties we experienced. We want to give parents a safe place to connect with each other.
