Building Families for Life
For all parents with children of all ages, this programme provides a step-by-step approach to understanding parenting style.
Parents discover what it takes to raise children who are cooperative and respectful, with healthy self-esteem, so they can reach their personal best in life.
Building Families for Life has been developed by Lorraine Sievers, on behalf of Life Enrichment Trust.
Through teaching and activities, parents develop their self-awareness of parenting style. Through a deeper understanding of attachment and bonding, parents are inspired to change and grow, in meeting their children's individual and unique needs.
Equipped with a parenting model that merges love with authority, parents develop closer relationships through effective communication.
The programme's solutions are easy to use and highly effective. They address the day-to-day problems families face. Parents learn how to recognise and respond to their children's behaviour, such as: the symptoms of withdrawal; seeing the real issues behind a child's anger; and clearing anger away so relationships can be restored and repaired.
The programme covers:
- Introduction to parenting style
- Identifying parenting style
- Understanding personality
- Embracing your child's development
- Providing loving support
- Setting clear boundaries
- Holding boundaries
- Clearing anger and dealing with withdrawal
Duration: 8 weekly sessions. Each session is 3 hours. Work manual provided.
