Guiding Your Child

One of the most challenging and rewarding roles in life is that of being a parent. While wanting the very best for our children, most of us occasionally face difficulties. Researchers have now identified parenting patterns that lead to relationships that succeed, children that achieve, and families that thrive. This is not due to luck or chance — it’s due to emotional, social, and organizational intelligence.

The good news is that these abilities are not fixed — they can be learned. Brain research shows that we can enhance these skills through understanding and practice. Rather than learning by trial and error, we can greatly increase our effectiveness as parents through systematic training and coaching.

During this 4-evening course, you will learn:

  • Strategies for managing your own thoughts and emotions, helping you remain resourceful during stressful times.
  • Approaches for understanding and influencing others, improving your effectiveness with your children.
  • Methods for enhancing family organization, contributing to a more harmonious home life.

This program has improved the lives of many families — it can improve yours as well.
