A WEBINAR FOR PARENTS, CARERS AND EDUCATORS WITH MAGGIE DENT
No one is born resilient, rather it’s a capacity we gradually build through real experiences, and with support and guidance. Unfortunately, there are lots of things about modern life and the way we parent in response, which are making it more challenging to raise kids who are capable, confident and who like themselves.
Our children need to have certain basic experiences to build the competencies that will help them manage life in this fast-changing world. Children need to experience disappointment, challenge, failure and boundaries to fully develop the interpersonal and personal skills that allow people to live in society.
As parents and educators, we need to support our kids by building protective factors that counteract the many, many stressors that modern life throws at them (and us).
In this webinar, Maggie will guide you through her common-sense, practical model of 10 building blocks to resilience for raising kids from birth through primary school.
She'll explore:
❇️ What children and parents of babies and toddlers really need to thrive and how to create it
❇️ Ways to incorporate play and movement into kids’ lives throughout the first 12 years – even when life gets busy
❇️ How to build life skills gradually in kids at different ages and stages
❇️ Ways to develop clear, loving and firm boundaries with the children in your life without crushing their spirit
❇️ How to reduce stress in your home, centre or classroom, even in the most challenging times
❇️ Strategies for helping kids develop self-mastery and autonomy
❇️ How to foster a safe circle of ‘family’ and meaningful involvement with other adults in your kids’ lives
❇️ Ways to nurture children’s inner lives so they listen to their heart, rather than their inner critic.
Maggie’s 10 building blocks model is something she has built on over 20 years of writing, speaking and exploring resilience in families, early years and school settings, and in community.
In this session she’ll share practical, common-sense ideas and manageable strategies to make small changes in your home, centre or classroom. Little things that can make a big difference to our children’s cognitive, physical, psychological, emotional and social health, right through life.
