Free Workshop for Moms in New York City – “NO MORE LOSING IT : GETTING CALM WHEN OUR KIDS ARE NOT”
Tuesday, March 22 -- 6:30 p.m.
~~~ Sponsored by ~~~
Mothers and More - NYC Chapter (http://bit.ly/9u1SSP) and Moonsoup (http://www.moonsoup.net/)
1059 2nd Avenue (between 55th and 56th Streets)
New York City, NY 10022
Workshop – “NO MORE LOSING IT : GETTING CALM WHEN OUR KIDS ARE NOT”
When it comes to developing great relationships and great kids we know our children need us to be cool, calm and collected. Yet the biggest challenge in parenting is being cool, calm and collected. Why is it so hard and what we can do about it?
This informative and useful workshop will focus on how to stay calm even in the most stressful moments. You will leave learning how to increase your own maturity and how to decrease your knee jerk reactions when your kids push your buttons. And, let’s face it – our buttons are getting pushed all the time because our kids are masterful at finding them. Whether it is fighting us when putting them in the car seat, throwing food off the high chair or screaming at the top of their lungs when in-laws are over, not getting to school on time or not getting college applications done, they can get our blood boiling. How we ACT when our blood boils is what we have in our control and is the key to great parenting.
Learn how to:
• Control yourself instead of controlling your kids
• Observe, think, act
• Develop and follow your principles of parenting
• Build emotional and physical stamina
• Get to your thoughts rather than to your emotions
• Think about and focus on your responsibilities as a parent
• Control the buttons that most trigger you
Respond effectively to your kids tantrums, aggression, rude behavior, sibling battles, defiance and other frustrating behaviors
