"Meeting the Needs of Children"
Workshop Description:
This seven week Connection Parenting workshop series is for
parents, grandparents, childcare providers, teachers, and
anyone who wants to bring more understanding, love, and joy to
their relationship with children of all ages.
- Session 1: Our Parenting
Inheritance - What do we bring to parenting from our own
childhood? Why is parenting today so much more difficult
than it has ever been?
- Session 2: Teaching
Children Respect - The basis of all loving relationships
is treating each other with respect. We teach children
respect when we treat them with respect.
- Session 3: Healing the
Feeling Child - When we learn why "the crying is the
healing, not the hurting" we gain a new level of
understanding and skill in responding to crying, temper
tantrums, frustration, anger and grief.
- Session 4: The Gift of
High Self-esteem - The way we treat children teaches
them what to believe about themselves. We can learn to make
the time we spend with children each day count positively
for the rest of their life.
- Session 5: Communication
that Builds Relationship - Words can build or destroy a
relationship. We can unlearn negative parent-talk and learn
positive people-talk.
- Session 6: Discipline
through Decoding Behavior - Children don't always have
the language to tell us what they need, so they act it out
with their behavior. We can learn to recognize "needy"
behavior and respond to the need instead of react to the
behavior.
- Session 7: The Needs of
Parents - Parenting never was, and was never meant to
be, a one or two person job. Childrens' needs are best met
by parents whose own needs are met. We can, in our own
community, learn to create extended family who can support
us in nurturing our children and ourselves.
The book Connection Parenting is
recommended but not required. If you have it, it is
recommended to read each chapter following the class as a
review of what was covered that session.
You will need some kind of notebook to
use as a parenting journal to write in during the classes.
Classes will be held on a phone
conference line for 90 minutes, once per week for 7 weeks. The
cost is $135 for the series. Classes are limited to 9
participants. Click the link below to register!
