Seneca Academy Parenting Series

As parents, we are our children’s first teachers. How we establish expectations, set limits, and model problem solving will shape how they grow into resilient, independent, and principled individuals. In this workshop we will:

• Clarify a parenting “Mission Statement” that is developmentally appropriate
• Develop a framework for establishing a positive home environment/rapport with your child, clear expectations/boundaries, and natural consequences
• Develop a framework for problem-solving that helps you keep your cool, even when feeling out of control
• Set boundaries for the development of a healthy sense of self and self-regulation

Do you wonder why you react the way you do when parenting? Would you like to develop proactive strategies for raising compassionate children while improving your own resilience?
