Please click the link below to join the webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89354907656?pwd=TmpHdTZuMVJaYkxvVklRVlJRYTc0QT09 Passcode: 098947 PARENTING THE EXCEPTIONAL CHILD Do you notice that your child is particularly sensitive, slow-to-adapt, persistent, energetic, or intense at times? Are there elements of their behaviour that are frustrating and confusing? There are many different facets of temperament, or how a child is “wired” that have significant effects on their behaviour. Some children are exceptional in the strength of their temperamental traits. This workshop is designed to help parents and caregivers understand their child on a whole new level. We will explore: · different variables of personality and temperament · the “fit” between parents personalities and those of their children · the “why” behind behaviours that appear baffling and oppositional · how to communicate limits without shame or frustration · how to handle meltdowns and emotional moments · specific ways to bring out your child’s natural strengths and abilities By the end of the workshop parents will have a tailored personality profile for their child, with plenty of practical ideas of how to help them build self-esteem and be the best version of themselves.
