This full-day workshop will cover some very interesting and important topics about challenges parents are currently facing. This workshop is good for parents, grandparents, and caregivers of children in any age. The entire experience will impact your life and your parenting for the better. You can look forward to an improved understanding of your child, self-awareness of your own parenting style, and most importantly, having a positive impact on your child’s growth.
Topics Covered:
- how to prepare your children for a future that we cannot predict
- how to manage the high rate of change in today’s society
- how to make children more self-reliant at the same time respectful and responsible
- the difference between being a “socialized” child and an “obedient” child
- how to recognize the different types of “compliance” from children
- sources of parent and child conflict
- differences in communication and development with children at various stages
- how to communicate with your child, and being aware that each social interaction builds the identity of the child
- understand your “real parenting self”, away from the pressure of being the “ideal parent”
- a look at your own past childhood and how that affects your parenting
