This is a free webinar and part of our DSDN Day series.

When Emotions Run High: Practical Emotional Intelligence for Parenting with Shatanese Reese 

Parenting comes with moments that stretch us emotionally, mentally, and sometimes all at once. Whether it’s navigating stress, managing expectations, or responding in the middle of a tough moment, how we show up matters. 

In this engaging and relatable session, Shatanese Reese introduces practical emotional intelligence tools designed to help parents navigate real-life challenges with greater awareness, intention, and confidence. Through a blend of honesty, humor, and real-world application, parents will learn how to pause before reacting, manage emotional highs and lows, and strengthen their connection with both themselves and their children. This session meets parents exactly where they are. Whether they’re early in their journey or have been navigating it for years, and offers simple, sustainable strategies they can begin using immediately. 

Participants will leave with: 

• A clear understanding of emotional intelligence and why it matters in parenting 

• Practical tools to manage stress, frustration, and emotional overwhelm 

• Strategies to respond with intention rather than react in the moment 

• A renewed sense of confidence in how they show up for their child and themselves 

Shatanese Reese is an executive coach, speaker, and mother of six, including her son Josiah, who has Down syndrome. With 25+ years of leadership experience, she helps people use emotional intelligence to navigate real-life challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
