Parent Workshops

**** PLEASE FOLLOW ON IG and FB for Dates!

Parenting is hard. There is no way around it. Just when we think we have it in the box, we enter a new stage, a friend who hates us, a food they won’t eat anymore, an attitude of entitlement. You name it. There is a delicate balance on this rollercoaster ride.

Why not hash it out with others in the same boat, on the same river looking for the golden paddle.

It is not lost on us that our own life experiences mold our parenting, when we want it to and even when we don’t. These “workshops” give us a chance to dive in headfirst together and prepare our way forward.

• If your child/ren have attended a workshop this is a good opportunity to take a deeper look at the skills, they have learned and how to continue providing healthy guidance in the teachable moments with the skills they have already been introduced. (Not a requirement)

• Opportunity to dialogue with other parents and caregivers embracing this chapter of parenting and equipping their children with the mindset skills we ourselves probably did not have.

• Chance for families to explore how life coaching workshops and 1:1 works. Just like a sports coach helps children develop the skills, confidence, and ability to thrive on the court, a life coach for kids helps children develop the skills, confidence, and ability to thrive in life.
