Connected Parenting Advanced Strategies
Being the parent of “that child”
This workshop will help you to learn powerful strategies that will help your child learn to be part of the team at home, at school and out in the community. By helping your child to understand the context of their behaviour they will learn better coping strategies and build success and resilience.
Parenting Teens Saying ‘No’ when the world says ‘Yes’
Parenting with brains. Parenting strategies that help your child’s brain functioning
As a parent, you want to do everything possible to give your child the tools for a successful life. But what if a few small adjustments in how you interact with your child could actually impact their brain function?
It is not enough just to love them, investing in your relationship with your child will have an effect on their future success and happiness.
Polarizing Parents. Find the middle ground with your parenting partner
Not only does this leave each parent feeling alone and unsupported, but when the kids see what’s going on they often take advantage.
In this workshop you will learn strategies to find a common ground for you and your partner. By introducing the principals of Connected Parenting empathy, compassion and containment into your individual parenting style, parents will be able to come closer together and learn to support each others parenting decisions and work together bringing out the best in each other and their children.
Transform your challenging child
In this workshop, parents will learn how the principals of Connected Parenting can help to reduce the daily battles you might be having with your child, making the home a happier, less stressful place for the entire family.
Going with the flow. Helping kids and families learn to move through transitions
In this workshop you will learn strategies to help your children move through transitions smoothly and become more compliant and flexible. Easier transitions make the experiences go better and entire days run smoother.
Kids and anxiety Recognizing the warning signs and what to do
Children don’t always show the typical or obvious signs of anxiety that we might think of, sometimes demanding behaviour, extreme bossiness, temper tantrums and sleep disturbances can all be symptoms of anxiety.
In this workshop, you will learn about kids and anxiety, how to spot the warning signs, and what you as a parent can do to ease your child’s anxiety.
Kids and the bottom line. Talking to your kids about adult issues
Many families may be in a position where they are forced to say ‘No’ more often. While we all want our kids to have everything to make them happy, it’s a good time to teach them about value and setting limits.
In this workshop, you will learn how to talk to your kids about sensitive issues, such as the recession, in a way that makes them still feel safe and connected.
Super sensitive kids. Helping them to cope
As parents of sensitive kids it’s easy to become frustrated with the constant mood swings and unpredictable reactions. In these situations, the bond between parent and child can often become frayed.
In this workshop, Connected Parenting will teach you strategies to help your child develop a thicker skin and learn to be more flexible. They will get upset less often and recover faster when they do. Through mirroring and empathy, parents will learn to help their sensitive child to become a happy, resilient and confident child.
