Understanding and Parenting the Temperaments in 2 Sessions

Temperaments are proto-psychological types that influence us on a subconscious level. The various strengths and weaknesses of our temperament is the underlying reason we experience the world the way we do, why we behave the way we do and tend to repeat those patterns of behavior.

With this information, many people discover why they get along better with some people and feel more comfortable with them – like our spouse and friends for example. For parents, it helps us to understand why we parent the way we do and why we may or may not be connecting with our children. Understanding the temperaments can give you helpful insight to yourself, understanding for others, and strengthen your relationships.

6/11 Session – Understanding the Temperaments

• The history, background and science behind temperaments

• What are strengths and weaknesses of each temperament

• At home temperament assessment for yourself, spouse and children

6/18 Session – Temperament application

• Understanding your test results

• Parenting the temperaments - child specific - emotional needs and "trouble hot spots" to be mindful of and aware.

Description

We also welcome and encourage single parents to join us!

This 2 week workshop is $25 per household or $60 for all 3 summer workshops!
