Family Center Presents: The
“Empower Your Parenting Technique” workshop series
Facilitated by Karen Heart, LCSW* October 5th 2009 – The Better Communication Technique: building relationships, self esteem, and happiness -
The Better Communication Technique (BCT) is the foundation for improving
yourself and your relationships. All of the other workshops refer to it,
sometimes extensively; therefore, it is highly recommended that you learn it
before taking other workshops. A tutorial of the BCT is also available online
for free at http://www.KarenLifeCoach.com/
if you wish to learn it on your own. October 19th 2009 – Self Esteem for Parents -
Following a brief (15 minute) lecture on self esteem, you will learn about your
own self esteem through a series of exercises and focused discussions.
Throughout the workshop, focused suggestions for building good self esteem will
be offered. October 26th 2009 – Relationships for Parents: partners, parents and other caregivers - This two-part workshop helps parents learn about issues in their relationships, particularly with their own parents, their partners, and other caregivers. In the first part of this workshop, participants will learn about three factors that substantially affect relationships: power, pleasing others, and misattribution of pain. Participants will perform exercises that reveal how these factors specifically affect them in their lives. In the second part of this workshop, participants will perform exercises and engage in focused discussions about their relationships so that they can learn what underlies problems in their relationships and how to cope better. November 2nd 2009 – How to Give Your Children Good Self Esteem - Learn what causes good self esteem and poor self esteem in our children. A variety of topics that involve self esteem will be discussed, and focused suggestions for building good self esteem will be offered throughout the workshop. There will be plenty of time for questions, too!
