Reflective Parenting Workshop

Reflective Parenting

Classes held all over the city at various times and locations. Check out the website for details and lists of classes/locations. www.communityofmindfulparents.com

This innovative 8 week workshop is for parents of children between the ages of 1 ½ to 5 years of age. The aim of the program is to help parents develop skills to enhance their ability to understand and build stronger relationships with their children. In Reflective Parenting groups parents gain confidence by expanding their understanding of the meaning of their children’s behavior. This understanding helps parents better regulate their own and their child’s emotions with the intention to become less reactive and more reflective. Parents who are able to regain a state of calm are more engaged, more effective, and therefore feel empowered and successful.

Parents participating in Reflective Parenting will develop:

* New ways to communicate with children

* Greater capacity to regulate children’s emotions

* Increased parenting confidence

* Effective behavioral interventions

* Awareness of the impact of their own behavior and feelings on their children’s development
