Too
often interactions between parent and child resemble a tug of war of
energy, will and words. Too often, we forget that we are adults and
that we are raising a child and not a “mini-adult”, who “should know
better”. For many of us sarcasm, blaming, lectures, warnings, even
name-calling and threats (“If you do not brush your teeth, daddy’s
going to spank you”) are too often part of our parenting repertoire.
However parenting at such a level is unhealthy in many ways. The parent
exerts too much negative energy, affect and attention and ultimately
feels like the bad parent who lost control.
This
workshop will equip you with the insights into a child’s psyche and
tools to help you parent more effectively by placing you at the child’s
level. Successful and regulate parenting is an art-not a science. At
the end of this introductory workshop you should be an expert.
