and Elaine Mazlish. The Talking 101 workshop

Children Deal with their Feelings,
Engaging Cooperation, and Alternatives
to Punishment. The Advanced Talk
workshop will cover the remaining topics:
Encouraging Autonomy, Praise and Self-Esteem,
and Freeing Children from Playing Roles. Each
week you will leave the session with practical
strategies that you can implement
immediately to improve communication

THE PERILS OF GIFT-GIVING, OVERBEARING RELATIVES, AND TOO MUCH TOGETHERNESS: PARENTING STRATEGIES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
|
|
|
Does gift giving -- and receiving -- sometimes provoke such terms as 'ungrateful,' 'spoiled,' or 'never again!' in your family? |
|
|
Do your extended family gatherings sometimes result in judgments about your parenting, or your children's behavior, that set your teeth on edge?
|
|
|
Has the term "vacation" lost some of its charm now that you have kids?
| |
| Join us for a lively workshop applying the skills and concepts of the "How To Talk" approach to some of the stickiest challenges of the holidays: how to prepare for gift-giving and -receiving; family gatherings and overbearing or otherwise difficult relatives; the mayhem, bickering and constant demands of non-stop togetherness; and your particular holiday challenges. You will leave with concrete strategies for surviving -- and enjoying -- the holidays with your children! |
