Overview
All children are unique individuals with their distinctive combinations of strengths and weaknesses. Their one-and-only make-up influence the way they think, feel, communicate and learn. As parents and teachers, your effectiveness in interacting with your child/student (whether to encourage or to teach them) derives from the effort you have invested in building an authentic relationship with him/her. When you have established such a relationship, you will find that your child/student will be responsive and intrinsically motivated to adhere to your requests or instruction. Through this workshop, participants will learn about the importance of appreciating the unique make-up of their children/students, as well as effective ways for establishing a genuine and mutually respectful relationship with them.
