“Raising Strong, Caring Kids:Emotional Intelligence to Help Children Make Positive Choices”

Help parents teach their children to make more conscious, conscientious, and effective decisions. Accountability means taking ownership of your decisions — and it begins with awareness of the choices we make in our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

The workshop features three exercises:

• The Volunteer Experiment — understand the concept of patterns
• Pattern Role Play — recognize patterns in parent/child interaction
• Dictator, Ally, Victim Words — change patterns of communication

Key learning points include:

• Feelings are important to making decisions
• We all follow patterns when we’re not careful
• Inventory thoughts and feelings, recognize choices, and try alternatives
• Words teach patterns

Module includes a professional 11-slide presentation and 4-page handout plus quotes to display on the walls.
