NEW courses for parents and carers – available April 2014
Our aim in applying the principles of POV directly to parenting is to create a community of parents who are mindful of how they bring up their children; parents who are able to build intimacy and friendship in their relationships and model emotional intelligence through their understanding and acceptance of their own feelings and emotions.
Participants and facilitators who have trialled the course report that the small group setting is a powerful and effective way to:
- Bond with your children while setting healthy boundaries
- Transform sibling rivalry into healthy appreciation for differences
- Understand why your children behave the way they do
- Help children (of any age) with tantrums
- Take the hell out of battles over homework, meal times, or anything else
- Respond effectively for lasting change.
“My fellow trainer Evie told me a lovely and simple story last week about a mum who is concerned that her daughter has not developed as fast as some of the other kids she is at school with for medical reasons. The big thing that really annoys her mum is that she is continually happy; for no good reason she is happy! Things go wrong and she is still happy.
Suddenly it hit both of them that her daughter isn’t the problem. The problem is our attitude to our challenges. It is our mistake to have lost that amazing child like mind that is fascinated by everything, that has a wonder for life. We are the ones being caught by our comparisons, by our desire to be independent and our roles.
What are you concerned about at this moment? Could you give it up and be happy instead?!
This month instead of sending you my love I am going to send you the part of my mind that is laughing at itself for forgetting this!”
