Life Hacks – Handouts

 

Tuning in to Kids – emotionally intelligent parenting

/0 Comments/in /by

A six session parenting program for parents.

Would you like to learn how to:

  • be better at talking with your child?
  • be better at understanding your child?
  • help your child learn to manage their emotions?
  • help to prevent behaviour problems in your child?
  • teach your child to deal with conflict?

Tuning in to Kids shows you how to help your child develop emotional intelligence.

Children with higher emotional intelligence

  • have greater success with making and keeping friends
  • have better concentration at school
  • are more able to calm down when upset or angry
  • tend to have fewer childhood illnesses

Emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of academic and career success than IQ!

This workshop is for parents and/or carers in the Goulburn Region (Greater Shepparton, Moira, Strathbogie, Mitchell and Murrindindi) only.

Contact Liza on 0429 908 731 or lcostigan@familycare.net.au to book in for our next workshop commencing 4 February 2021.  Or register here
