“It’s not what you say that is important, but what they understand when you say it.”

Perhaps you can relate to some part of this. Perhaps you have realised that how you talk, tells your child how you feel about him /her. Our statements affect their self-esteem and self worth. To a large extent, our language determines their destiny.

Parents and teachers need to join forces and form working partnerships. Both need to know the difference between words that demoralise and those that give courage, between the words that trigger confrontation and those that invite co-operation; between the words that make it impossible for the child to think or concentrate and the words that free the natural desire to learn.

Here is an opportunity for you to learn and understand how to help your children believe in who they are and who they can become. You will be able to help create an emotional environment that makes it safe for your children to open themselves up to what is new and unfamiliar. You will be able to help your children take responsibility and exercise self-control.

The workshops covers the following topics:

  • Session one looks at what it means to be an effective parent.
  • Session two looks at how to deal with feelings (anger, tantrums, crying etc).
  • Session three shows how to encourage children to co-operate with us and not work against us.
  • Session four revolves around positive reinforcement and how to use it effectively.
  • Session five helps show how to let children become independent and confident without nagging us to sort things out for them.
  • Session six looks at guidance and others ways to discipline, rather than punishment (hitting, threats, guilt, emotional manipulation)
  • Session seven looks at the skills of conflict resolution and problem solving.

As a teacher, with a degree in languages, psychology and pre-primary education, as well as qualifications as a Life Coach, Robin has seen these simple skills enable other teachers and parents relate better to their children and help them develop into much happier and confident people. These are not lectures but a forum to further your understanding of your child.

This is a workshop that runs over seven sessions: Please note that there is a morning series or an evening series. You can choose which series will work better for you.
