Suzita and Janet know firsthand how challenging parenting can be. There is a wealth of information out there which can be overwhelming. From our years of combined work with children, in the classroom and in the therapist’s office, we will offer you kernels of parenting wisdom that can be practiced every day.
We hold a holistic view of children. Nothing happens in isolation. The mind/body connection is powerful, and we will help you use this within your parenting. In this workshop, you will gain a greater understanding of your child’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual facets, and learn ways to support these aspects of your child’s life.
Some of the topics we’ll address and further explore together:
Deepening your connection with your child
Healthy friendships, issues related to bullying.
First time listening
Navigating screen time
Anxiety
Emotional waves
Establishing family values
Healthy routines and rituals in your home
Balancing structured and unstructured activities
