There’s plenty of good parenting advice out there, but few of us can make meaningful changes in our relationships with our kids just based on a book or webinar.
In this four-session workshop, you’ll work in a group setting with veteran educator Andy Kitt to bring about lasting development in your parenting mindset and skills. Over the course of a month, Andy will guide you through exercises that will help you live better with your teen and build your capacity for more effective parenting.
The workshop combines proven techniques for deepening emotional intelligence, a variety of mindfulness practices, and insights from neuroscience on the teenage brain. And you’ll apply these to specific situations in your life, with opportunities for input from Andy and fellow participants.
You’ll learn how to:
recognize and understand “normal” teen behavior
catch yourself before reacting in unhelpful ways
equip yourself to hear your teen’s unspoken needs
communicate to help your teen be more receptive
use mindfulness practices to get better, over time, at all of these aspects of high-EQ parenting
Meets on 4 Wednesday nights, November 11 and 18 and December 2 and 9, 7:30-8:45 p.m. Pacific.
