At The Hale Village Therapy Centre I run workshops throughout the year. These are usually on a Friday morning from 0930 - 1230 and cost £55 per person per session. Planned for early Spring:
Repeating, Rebelling or Repairing: At the workshop you will have an opportunity to discover and learn the following: - How your own experience of being a child in your family of origin is influencing your parenting style now.
- Working through the muddle of what to keep and what to give up from your own past and how that can help your child now.
- Making the distinction between your feelings and those of your child.
- Discovering what your parenting style is and then having options to change some approaches if that will be helpful to you and your child
- Accepting yourself as a 'good enough' parent - nothing more and nothing less!
Following the success of my past Effective Parenting workshops, I am offering further age specific sessions for parents and carers of children and teenagers in 2012 Sessions are mixture of teaching, discussion and exercises and will be (I hope) both enlightening and fun! Look out for Spring dates. The material for the Effective Parenting course is presented over two workshops during which you will...... - Find out what are age appropriate limits and rules
- Discover how you can help your child/teen to grow up securely by providing a nurture/structure balance
- Know how to avoid the pitfalls of doing too much or of being over-protective and why that doesn't help
- Gain confidence in saying 'no' and sticking to it
- Get your tips and tools handout
- Understand 4 levels of teenage anger
- Hear about latest neuroscience research and the changing teenage brain
- Know why teenagers can be so stroppy and volatile
- Get insight into the 'good' teenager - how distressed teens can turn anger inwards towards self
- Learn how to avoid pointless power battles and manage your own anger!
