Are you looking for tools to building a long term relationship with your child?
Would you like to focus on cooperation rather than using punishment and bribes even when faced with challenging situations?
And do you have children in the early years?
If you said yes to all these, then this course is for you!
Does your child have trouble falling asleep?
Does he/she struggle to concentrate at school?
Does he/she have difficulties talking about their emotions or lack self-confidence?
Many children and adolescents have difficulty concentrating. They do not sleep well, worry and have concerns. They also find it difficult to relax, or to simply switch off and do nothing. And they are continually online. Their head is too full, the triggers too many. They are told to so many things.
By themselves, by school, by society. How do you teach a child to relax, to stop worrying, to trust in their own qualities and stay afloat in this demanding 21st century?
