Connecting with Your Middle-Schooler
An Interactive Workshop
With Elana Reinin, MPH, CPCC, CPDPE, Parenting Coach
November 6, 2014 7:00-8:30 PM - MVMS Gymnasium
Parenting middle-schoolers is not easy, and can create a lot of stress in a time when we crave joy and connection with our children. We don’t have many opportunities to share and vent all the feelings we hold about the trials, tribulations, and yes, joy of child rearing.
Join Group Facilitator Elana Reinin and other MVMS parents for support and sharing of mutual wisdom. You will walk away with new tools in your parenting toolbox, and a sense of connection with fellow parents. During this interactive workshop concepts like The Importance of Connection Before Correction, Focusing on the Relationship More than the Behavior, Being Fully Present, Listening Openly with No Agenda, and Being Curious/Leading with Curiosity will be introduced. After each, parents are given a few exercises to do with each other. (Sitting in groups of 6-8 around a table.)
Due to the interactive nature of the presentation, prior registration is required. As space is limited, we encourage you to register early.
