If you are headed in the wrong direction as a parent – you are allowed to make a U-turn.

When a child is disregulated – is the time parents need to be regulated.

Simple rules adhered to when children are young can prevent more serious problems later.

The best inheritance  parents can give their children is a few minutes of their time each day.

If it  was going to be easy to raise kids, it never would have started with something called “labour”.

Whining and crying are employed by kids for the purpose of getting something. If it works, then it was worth the effort and will be repeated.

If there is no relationship – nothing else matters !

Good parenting requires sacrifice. Childhood lasts for only a few brief years , but it should be given priority while it is passing before your eyes

It is what we say and do when we’re angry that creates the very model our children will follow when dealing with their own frustrations.

The teenage years require a delicate balance between the young person’s need to gain independence, and the parent’s need to retain authority.

It’s A Guy Thing – It’s a Girl Thing

Be prepared for an “aha” experience! Are boys different than girls? Do they think, play, learn, hear, talk differently?

Finally modern science can now explain the many gender differences that influence every aspect of our lives. Understanding these differences will help parents in raising their sons and daughters and explain to married couples why their spouse thinks, talks and acts the way he/she does. This workshop is a good one to attend with your partner. (3 hours)

Dry Bed Training

Can “bed wetting” contribute to emotional problems? Research clearly says “yes”! Nocturnal enuresis is a common complaint that not only affects a child’s self esteem (helplessness, hopelessness, shame, guilt, ridicule,etc) but is also an unpleasant nuisance and inconvenience for the whole family (laundry, odour, vacation complications, expense, etc.) This workshop explores the latest research into the causes, effects and treatments and will provide you with concrete, practical ideas on how to help your child overcome bed wetting.
