This workshop will explain the physical and emotional factors that cause us (and our children) to respond to situations in ways we later regret. The beliefs and emotional memories that contribute to charged reactions will be presented, with an emphasis on the ways parents inadvertently add fuel to the fire. Research-based ways to find a calm and thoughtful perspective will be provided.

Our children learn more from what they observe than from what they are told. This workshop presents what children learn about caring, conflict resolution, trust, respect, and negotiation from the adults in their lives.
Hopefully, you will find ways to reinforce all the positives that are in place—and identify ways to improve your family life.

Many educators and parents are seeing children drifting from religious practice more out of indifference and ennui than anger or rebellion.
