Positive Parenting
Our philosophy is that children need to be seen and heard and that behaviour is related to needs.
This one-day course is not about strategies for controlling or techniques for managing children.
We will explore:
- Getting clear about the emotional needs of children and how to respond
- Separating behaviour from personality
- Meeting needs and setting boundaries
- Learning how to create emotionally safe environments
- Communication as a form of love
Schedule:
New dates to be scheduled soon.
The course fee of $150 includes lunch
Venue:
The Hammond Institute (College of Holistic Counselling) Suite 1, 20 Clarke Street, Crows Nest.
