About Parenting Plot Twists:
Parenting is full of plot twists—big emotions, unexpected challenges, and moments that leave you thinking, “Wait… what just happened?” But you don’t have to navigate any of it alone.

Join us for a much-needed adults-only night out designed just for parents raising children ages 0–7. If you’re craving connection, thoughtful conversation, and support from a parenting expert (minus the pressure or the price tag), this book club is for you.

Join us for mingling and small bites at 6:30pm and settle in before our discussion begins at 7:00pm.

Whether you show up for the book, the support, or simply the chance to talk with adults who understand your season of life, you’ll leave feeling lighter, connected, and inspired.

About Tiny Humans, Big Emotions:

From two early childhood experts, an essential parenting guide for toddler behavior that empowers parents to help their little ones navigate their big feelings—including tantrums, outbursts, and separation anxiety—while laying the groundwork for a lifetime of emotional intelligence.

We’re in the midst of a parenting revolution that is radically changing the way we raise our kids. Gone are the days of minimizing emotions: Don’t Cry. You’re Fine. Don’t Make a Scene. As our understanding of developing brains has increased, today’s parents are embracing conscious parenting and looking for a new way to help their children understand their feelings and learn to process them.

Emotional development experts Alyssa Blask Campbell, M.Ed. and Lauren Stauble M.S. are at the forefront of a movement to foster little ones’ emotional intelligence. Their revolutionary Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method has been a game changer for parents and educators, and now they are sharing it with readers in this indispensable guide.

 Tiny Humans, Big Emotions provides the tools to tackle every sort of stressful child-rearing situation, including:

• What to do when your child throws a tantrum (it's not what you think!)

• Helpful scripts to handle any challenging moment like school refusal and bedtime resistance

• How to react when your child hits, punches, or bites

• Easy tips that help regulate your child’s nervous system

• How to anticipate and end meltdowns before they even begin

Designed for all humans—tiny and big—this book shows caregivers of children how to handle challenging behaviors and outbursts while empowering them to recognize and manage difficult feelings like anger, sadness, and shame, along with anxiety. All caregivers will find valuable insights and guidance in this book, especially those caring for children from infancy to age eight. Tiny Humans, Big Emotions equips adults with tools for emotional intelligence so they can respond with intention. This innovative, research-based approach teaches children self-regulation, empathy, and effective coping strategies, even as it strengthens the parent-child relationship, setting the groundwork for a lifetime of emotional resilience and wellbeing. 

This book is an essential, empathetic guide for gentle parenting that will teach parents to notice their own habits and hold space for their tiny human's big emotions.

This event is for participants age 18 and up.
