From Chaos to Connection – For Parents
ZoomWeek 1: Welcome
In our first week, we will explore what you need in order to get the most out of the programme, identify your vision for your family and specific goals and intentions for our time together.
Week 2: Restoring Connection
We explore the importance of the relationship we have with our children as a container for their growth and development, and the impact on them (and us) when there are challenges with connection.
Week 3: Understanding the lens through which you see the world
Learn how our beliefs/judgments about the world create a lens through which we understand and interpret our child, explore two fundamentally different ways we can experience the world.
Week 4: Feelings, Self Regulation and Co-regulation
How to use your feelings, sensations and emotions to understand your needs, express yourself, to self-regulate when you are triggered and to support your children to regulate themselves.
Week 5: How to Observe Without Judgement
We will explore the importance of separating your observations of your child from your evaluations, the role of evaluations in conflict and how clear observations can support peace.
Week 6: Empathy
We will look at the importance of empathy to your children’s development and learn some skills for offering empathy and understanding to your children even in the most challenging moments.
Week 7: Requests - From Connection to Manifestation
We will practise making clear, doable requests that capture your deepest needs and longings and that are more likely to be heard by your children.
Week 8: Integration and Roadmap
In our final week, we’ll focus on integrating everything you’ve learned, reflecting on your progress, and celebrating your achievements. You will leave with a toolkit of strategies, a renewed vision for your family, and a clear roadmap to guide you forward on this journey.
