Workshop Assumptions
There is no such thing as a Generation Gap!
Lack of self-esteem is at the core of any dysfunctional behavior!
The best way to be a good parent is to be a good role
model!
Workshop Objectives
To de-bunk the Generation Gap myth!
To establish self esteem as the core of parenting issues
To explore current parenting issues
To apply the Circle of Courage Model to parenting adolescents
Is There A Generation Gap??? What was one of your best
experiences as an adolescent?
What was one of your worst?
What were your feelings during those times?
Now think about your teenage children or adolescents that you work with or children of the parents you work with.
What are their best and worst experiences so far in their lives?
What feelings do they have associated with these?
Is There A Generation Gap???
