TOPICS AND DATES
Getting It All Done Monday, September 28 at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST
Most of what we do in family life falls into the “Getting Things Done” department. Getting up, getting ready for the day, dealing with meals, laundry and chores, completing schoolwork and homework, and getting along with others are just a few of the items in this category. In these areas, children learn responsibility, cooperation and how to see what needs to be done and do it without being asked. They learn characteristics such as diligence, obligation, perseverance, thoroughness, responsiveness to authority and the ability to give up their agenda even if they don’t feel like it. The way parents’ guide their children in this area either escalates conflict or reduces tension. Learn to get it all done and do it with life-skills in mind in this first session.
Managing Emotions Monday, October 12 at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST
Every child and young person must learn to manage the three categories of emotions: anger, sadness and anxiety. Unfortunately, some children use those emotions to control situations they don’t like. Parents can use several heart-based tools to help children manage these emotions with an eye on skill development that will help these children both now and in the future. Emotions can create quite a stir in one’s heart and wreak havoc in a family. Learn practical ways to help children deal with their emotions in this powerful session.
Navigating Electronics Monday, October 26 at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST
How much screen time is too much screen time? How can you tell when your child is crossing the line toward addiction? How can you as a parent manage the electronics and the demand or anger a child exhibits when you try to do so? Of course, not all children are the same, further complicating the answers to these questions. These and many other questions about electronics will be addressed in this very important session.
All sessions will include a question and answer session and are free to attend.
