Parenting is a most rewarding and joyful experience. However it can at various stages become difficult and demanding, where unconditional love is challenged. Parents want what is best for their children but sometimes they inadvertently say things or use parenting methods that can escalate issues.
Parenting, unfortunately, comes with no handbook or in-service training! This programme is about looking at the triggers that can escalate challenges and cause undue friction. We examine how certain individual belief systems and thinking can inhibit healthy parenting and diminish effective communication in a family.
Content:
- The programme will focus on the impact of parent’s beliefs and thinking on their children’s behaviour.
- It will also look at why children misbehave and ways of dealing with this behaviour.
- Parent’s will be introduced to Cognitive Behaviour Principles with regards to parenting ie that people are not disturbed by people/events in their lives but by the way they few them.
- It will also explore the impact of parent’s thinking on the lives of their children.
- It will examine the impact (healthy and unhealthy) of how we were parented on how we will parent our own children,
