Parenting
Seminars
Introduction
Good parenting is a learned skill, and
developing a skill always requires
education, practice and persistence. As a fellow parent,
I am
committed to working with you as we develop and
refine the skills we need to be effective parents. The
seminar will reinforce some
foundational principles
of parenting, and show how those principles apply
to real life. Our time together will be relaxed, understandable,
humorous, and intensely practical.
So let’s get back to the basics.
Let’s come together and explore those timeless principles that make good
parents even better. I don’t know about you, but I can always use a little
reminder.
The Seminars

Self Esteem”

“Building Respect and

Respect for authority is rare in
young people today. Yet this respect can be skillfully woven into the
character of our children, and yes, even toddlers. This seminar will

“Handling Emotions”
Understanding,
expressing, and dealing with emotions is hard enough for adults, not to
mention children. Each of us has learned an emotional philosophy from our own
family which greatly effects the way we deal with our emotions today. In this
seminar you will...
-
Understand the power of
emotions.
-
See the positive side of
emotions.
-
Identify some healthy and
unhealthy ways of dealing with emotions.

Learn how to recognize your
child’s feelings.

label, express and deal with their feelings in a productive way.
Be careful, you may find
yourself applying this seminar to your own pattern of dealing with emotions.
