Workshop for Parents

Every term we have workshops for parents and carers of young children. We create original material or invite special guests to discuss behaviour, discipline, supporting learning at home and other topics.

Tantrums: where do I turn this off?

Let’s be honest: tantrums can be puzzling. They are triggered by random factors, are hard to predict and have terrible timing. Nonetheless, they are easier to handle than you think. In this workshop, we will discuss the two big categories of tantrums: conscious and unconscious. You will learn what to expect from different ages, how brain development influences your child’s behaviour, and acquire some tools for effective discipline.

“Because I said so!” (and other strategies to survive parenting)

For parents of children aged 18 months to seven years
9th October, 6th November 2017

Tricky moments with children are inevitable. Children have the power to give unexpected twists to the simplest activities such as a trip to the supermarket, dinner time or a scooter ride. Their routines and behaviour change rapidly, sometimes affecting the dynamic of the whole family. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to establish the non-negotiable rules and habits in your house, manage routines, avoid power struggles, deal with strong personalities and follow through with logical consequences.

We will be joined by Jillian Lavender, founder of the London Meditation Centre, who will host one session to teach parents methods of de-stressing and reconnecting with themselves. Parenting can feel like juggling but it is one of the most rewarding experiences. Let us help you with strategies and ideas to achieve a more balanced parenting style.

Session 1: 9th October 2017
Session 2: 6th November 2017

In each session, we will review how you can implement what we talk about once you get home. The reason why we do the workshop in sessions is to give you time to test and try what you learn. Between the sessions, you will get weekly emails with ideas to try at home as well as support from us, if you need it.
