Because I Said So!

CULTIVATE THE CONNECTIONS YOUR CHILDREN NEED TO ACCEPT NOT GETTING THEIR WAY Children need their care-givers’ support to navigate the full range of their feelings. Contrary to popular culture, looking for our children’s buy-in using a negotiating approach is not only draining and exhausting for care-givers, it’s also not what our children need developmentally. Despite the discomfort—theirs and ours—our children need to feel sadness and disappointment to build resiliency and to mature. In this presentation, Cindy will discuss how to become the parents that our children need. She’ll talk about how to simultaneously be an agent of futility, setting boundaries and saying “no,” and an angel of comfort, offering compassion for their upset feelings. In this presentation you will discover: * Find out how to reclaim your dignity and power to parent. * Understand the critical role sadness and tears play in your child’s development. * Learn how to help your child accept no for an answer. * Discover the keys t… Category: Classes & Lectures.
