About the Event
Most of us come to parenting completely unprepared.  Or perhaps we think we are prepared, and then reality hits.  Parenting is the hardest (and I would argue, most important) job in the world, yet we get zero training. So we slip into a default pattern of parenting based on our conditioning and our conditions.  Our children's behaviour (and ours) can often leave us feeling powerless and confused, and parenting in a way that we know isn't helpful or effective - nagging, shouting, punishing, bribing and generally making theirs and our lives miserable.  Sound familiar?  We might know we want to do things differently – we might read lots of books and gather information, but in times of stress, we keep slipping back into old patterns.  This workshop will outline why we parent as we do and how you can break free from your old patterns.  We will explore how becoming conscious in your parenting allows you to find the space to respond to even the trickiest parenting scenarios with calm and confidence in a way that empowers both you and your children.
