Workshops for Parents, Daycares and Schools

For groups of parents, I offer a 6-week workshop series based on the classic book How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk by award-winning authors Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.

 

This psychoeducational program and support group is for parents of toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children.

 

The sessions cover:

 

    •    Helping Children Deal with Their Feelings

    •    Engaging Cooperation

    •    Alternatives to Punishment

    •    Encouraging Autonomy

    •    Praise and Self-Appreciation

    •    Freeing Children from Playing Roles

​

The goal of the workshop is to give you effective, evidence-based methods of communication that will make your relationship with your children less stressful and more rewarding. You will learn how to:

​

    •    Discipline without hurting or alienating

    •    Cope with your child's negative feelings

    •    Help your child develop a realistic and positive self-image

    •    Foster an atmosphere of love and respect

    •    Resolve conflicts peacefully

​

​

I work together with daycare and school staff to develop workshops that fit your specific needs. Examples of workshops I present include:     

• Strategies for supporting young children in emotional distress    

• Strategies for managing behavioural difficulties or anxiety    

• Strategies for supporting young children’s social-emotional development 

• Mindfulness in the classroom

• Self-supporting strategies for educators: how caregivers can give themselves what they need. Tools to prevent caregiving burnout.
