Parenting in today's world is more challenging than ever. From the overwhelming influence of media to the well-meaning advice from in-laws and extended family, it's easy to feel lost. But you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

- Build Your Support Network: Identify three key support systems that promote mental health and wellness for both you and your child.

- Handle Challenging Behaviours: Gain practical strategies for dealing with meltdowns, tantrums, and non-compliance in a way that promotes understanding and growth.

- Find the “Yes” Behind the “No”: Learn how to discover the underlying needs and desires that drive your child's behaviour.

- Expand Emotional Vocabulary: Enhance your ability to communicate emotions effectively, helping your child articulate their feelings and needs.

This workshop isn't just about learning—it's about connecting, sharing, and growing as a parent. With a blend of informative presentations, hands-on activities, and open discussions, you'll leave feeling more confident and prepared to handle the ups and downs of parenting.
