Get Started with a CPCK Book Club Dialogue Series
6-Part Book Club Series!
Session 1 — Confident Parents Raise Confident Kids; How Do You Gain Confidence In Your Parenting and Gain Emotional Competence? Are there ways parents/caregivers can work toward their specific hopes and dreams for their children each day? Yes! This workshop will introduce parents/caregivers to viewing their daily interactions and even their toughest parenting challenges through a new lens – the lens of social and emotional skill building. Strategies will be shared to try out right away!
Session 2 — Courageous Parents, Courageous Kids: Dealing with Difficult Emotions and Challenging Transitions. This session will include understanding each family member’s temperament (or natural emotional reflexes) that can lead to conflict without awareness. We’ll also look at ways that parents can model, coach, and practice with their children ways to manage even the biggest emotions like fear, anger, and more.
Session 3 — Learning about Supporting Development from Ages Infant through 7-years-olds. This workshop will help parents understand the specific developmental needs of younger children and how to support them.
Session 4 — Learning about Supporting Development from Ages 8-12-years. This workshop will help parents understand those middle transition years (the tween years!). This is a time of significant change and there will be many strategies shared. Parents will have the chance to share their challenges and work through how they can address it in healthy ways while supporting their child’s development.
Session 5 — Learning about Supporting Development from Ages 13-19. The teen years are also a time of major change in a child’s life. Parents often wonder: What’s my role? as teens become more and more independent and push parents away. There’s still a vital role to play. Strategies will be shared for creating trusting relationships and supporting teens through the roller coaster ride of adolescence.
Session 6 — Social and Emotional Intelligence for Parents; Honing your Own Core Competencies Especially during Tough, Uncertain Times. Because the first and most powerful way children and teens learn social and emotional intelligence is through modeling, we have to work on our skills too. This workshop will give parents/caregivers new ways in which to approach parenting challenges that will hone their own skills and bring their best to even their thorniest challenges.
