EMOTION COACHING - Parent

When I was in acting school in New York, the fundamental principal my teachers focused on teaching us was around “how to become children again.” What I mean by this is that to be an actor, you have to learn to be a child. Why? Think about it, what are the incredible qualities children are born with? Well… some include presence, authenticity and vulnerability. However, the older children get, the more they loose these abilities, because of society and sometimes parents.

​

So what I am proposing to you, is to rethink your parenting style so that we can continue to keep the presence and authenticity that our children teach us and on the same note, establish an emotionally intelligent relationship with them so as to create a mutually serving relationship.

 

This workshop with provide you with many skills such as, how to manage a stresses child, an angry child or implosive child, what behaviours to avoid and what behaviours to try, how to recognize emotions and help your child recognize theirs and finally the gift of problem solving, as the fact is – you as the parent do not need to have the answers, rather helping your child find their answers is much more empowering for them and you!

 

This workshop is ideal for younger children, however will serve you hugely in the adolescent space as many of these processes are necessary in order to create a healthy and mutually serving relationship!
