A healthy parent-child relationship is one of the essential factors contributing to the child’s general emotional well-being and later adjustment. Yet how can we maintain a positive, meaningful connection with our children in the face of the inevitable conflicts and power struggles? Patricia provides presentations and workshops for parents, based largely on the book, Giving the Love that Heals, by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt. The authors describe their book as a “transformational process of conscious parenting.” In the workshop, participants will learn how to:
1)Listen in a manner that promotes positive self-esteem
2)Communicate “intentionally,” rather than reacting out of emotion
3)Set limits in the context of a loving relationship.
She is available to talk to schools and other parent groups free of charge, schedule permitting.
