APPROACH USED IN THIS WORKSHOP
The training takes place in a group. Questions invite you to observe your life on the parenting theme and to explore your experience. The time of guided analysis is followed by optional sharing, without discussion. In order to deepen participants’ personal research, the educator gives input and uses various means (diagrams, commentaries, observation notes, etc.). The variety of experiences shared in the group enriches participants. You are then invited to make well thought out decisions corresponding to your actual reality.
CONDITIONS FOR PARTICIPATION
This workshop is open to all parents regardless of their children’s age (and also to grandparents who want to look at their relationship with their grandchildren). The workshop is not recommended for deeply perturbed individuals or for individuals in psychotherapy, unless they receive the approval from their psychotherapist.
