When a child has cancer, parenting can feel like it's been replaced by managing appointments, medication, and uncertainty. But your child still needs you. Not just as their advocate, but as their safe place. This session explores how to stay connected to your child as a whole person, even in the most challenging times.
We’ll look at what happens in the nervous system during stress, for both parent and child, and why co-regulation can be such a powerful tool for emotional safety. You'll learn simple, practical ways to support your child’s emotional wellbeing without needing to “fix” or “solve” everything.
We'll also touch on sibling dynamics and the guilt many parents feel about not having enough time or attention for their other children. With compassion and honesty, this session offers tools to support the whole family, one moment at a time.
