Raising Emotionally Intelligent Children Children, by nature, are immature; they have strong emotional reactions to what seem to us to be minor frustrations and upsets. Often they do not know how to handle their emotions. They may refuse to co-operate, cry, whinge, lash out, or just sulk. It is important that we help our children to become more aware of their emotions, to express themselves appropriately and to learn to focus on solutions. We will show you how to help children manage their emotions more constructively and how to deal with irritations before they become too much for them to cope with. |

Never Ask Twice Effective communication and problem-solving skills Do you find that your children sometimes avoiding doing what you ask, no matter how much you explain? Do they lack consideration for others and only think of their own needs? Or do they whinge and complain about minor difficulties, rather than find a way to resolve them? In this evening, we will explore ways you can talk to your children to reduce conflicts and encourage them to think about solutions. Your children will learn to see the wider picture, create solutions of their own and be more open to your suggestions. |

Getting Back In Charge Positive strategies for achieving co-operation We all want our children to behave well at home, at school and with their friends. We want them to ‘do the right thing’ and stay out of trouble, for our own sakes as well as for theirs. In this talk we will discuss positive, practical ways of passing on our values and ‘code of behaviour’ to our children. “The parenting skills have totally changed our way of approaching things. My family haven’t shouted in five weeks!” |
