TAME THE VIKING BRAIN
is a fun, online course that gives kids and families practical tools to understand the brain, manage big emotions, and build skills that last a lifetime.
Every Child Has a Viking Brain.
Teach Them How to Steer It. ________________________________________
Big Feelings. Strong Minds. Real-Life Skills.
Does your child have big emotions? Maybe they melt down over small disappointments, get stuck in worry, react before thinking, or have trouble calming down once they’re upset. 
You're not alone.
The good news is that emotional regulation is a skill—and like any skill, it can be learned. Tame the Viking Brain is a fun, research-informed online course where parents and children learn together how the brain works, why emotions sometimes take over, and practical strategies to calm emotional storms before they become overwhelming. With just a few minutes of daily practice, your child can begin building skills they’ll use for a lifetime.
Welcome to Tame the Viking Brain.
IMAGINE IF YOUR CHILD COULD....
✔ Understand why they have big feelings.
✔ Calm themselves before emotions take over.
✔ Think before reacting.
✔ Build confidence instead of self-doubt.
✔ Learn to solve problems instead of exploding or shutting down.
✔ Develop emotional regulation skills that help at home, at school, and with friends.
These aren’t simply coping strategies. They’re lifelong brain skills.
What Makes This Course Different?
Children don’t connect with lectures.
They connect with stories.
That’s why this course teaches neuroscience through an exciting Viking adventure.
Your child discovers that inside every person is a powerful Viking Brain.
Sometimes that Viking is brave, creative, and wise.
Other times it charges into battle over things that aren’t really dangerous.
Throughout the course, children learn how to recognize when their brain has entered “Viking Mode,” calm the amygdala (their brain’s alarm system), and bring their thinking brain back online.
Complex neuroscience becomes simple, memorable, and fun.
Based on Real Science
Tame the Viking Brain combines practical strategies drawn from:
- Neuroscience

- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Hi, I’m Sara Parker, a licensed counselor with years of experience helping children, teens, adults, and families develop emotional regulation skills. I created Tame the Viking Brain because I wanted children to understand their emotions in a way that feels empowering rather than degrading. I have worked with hundreds of kids teaching this program and wanted to bring it to an online format so more people can access this program. By combining neuroscience with memorable stories and lessons, this course helps children build skills they can use for years to come.
