Adolescent Development; Who Are You Parenting?

Adolescent Development; Who Are You Parenting?

This workshop is for parents of pre-teens to help take away the uncertainties of parenting before the teenage years are upon you. These two days will help parents understand who they are parenting. Adolescence is a very exciting time in life as well as frightening and confusing for some teenagers and parents. But if a parent can grasp the changes that are going on in their child and support those changes, the fear and confusion for both teenager and parent diminishes. This workshop is fun and informative. Parenting is never simple, the workshop may make it a little easier.

Relationships and Intimacy

Relationships and Intimacy

When we get into relationships we are not just bringing ourselves into it but all our family, friends and experiences. This workshop helps to sort out what the challenges can be, how to work through them, and to understand the wonderful possibilities relationships give. The intimacy of relationships is not just sex, it is the willingness to share the most important aspects of ourselves. This is the glue that holds the relationship together. The sexual intimacy can be just as important or may not be important at all if all other aspects are strong and loving. If your relationship is not already strong, this workshop will help you strengthen it. If you are in a strong relationship it can only make it stronger.

Family Dynamics

Family Dynamics

How does a family develop? What are the dynamics of a family? Each person in a family has similarities of experience and many differences. Are you the baby, the middle child or the eldest? How did your family communicate? Was it an open or closed family? Did you argue a lot or were you a more quiet family? All of these things and many more are discussed in this workshop and looked at from many angles. This workshop will help you see your family in a more positive way because you will come out of it with more understanding of what has happened and how it has affected you.

At the end of this workshop the intention is that you will no longer fear death but come to your own understanding of what it means to you.

But how we deal with it is what is most important.
