Raising Happy and Confidant Children Informative. Empowering. Practical. The FOURTH "R" of EDUCATION: RELATIONSHIPS - Learning the Skills
Successful relationships and parenting doesn't happen by accident. Decades of experience and research has shown that healthy, lasting relationships are most commonly built through emotional intelligence, EQ. Unlike IQ, emotional intelligence can be learned and by practicing this work both parents and children increase their emotional intelligence. Help children develop the Five R’s of Successful Living: Resourcefulness (problem solving and creativity)
Learn to guide children’s behaviour and help them reach their fullest potential.
Children learn by modelling - by watching how their parents regulate their emotions. Learn how your childhood experience effects your parenting and how to change this.
Compassionate Parenting is guaranteed to: • Increase cooperation, self-esteem, and self-discipline in children and parents• Reduce anger, resentment, and hostility in children and parents. • Deepen emotional connections between parents and children.
Think Motivation More than Consequences Motivation happens before behaviour Emphasis is on before-the-fact emotional motivation of behaviour, rather than after-the-fact consequences. Consequences are after the fact, either too little or too much, but always too late.
Implement discipline with positive parental motivation to protect, nurture, guide, encourage, influence, set limits, & co-operate. Most adults attempt to change children’s behaviour in avoid or attack motivations which produces guilt, shame, or fear. These inhibit learning, lower self-esteem, cause resentment and aggression, and tend to make children selfish and sneaky.
Learn how to guide our children to be motivated by their core values, interest and compassion, not fear and temporary submission. Empower children to come up with solutions that work for them and you.

HOW THIS WORKSHOP WILL BENEFIT YOU…
CONSCIOUS MARRIAGES MAKE HAPPY FAMILIES Research shows that the greatest gift you can give children is for parents to love each other and to express this openly. ATTENDEES’ FEEDBACK... “A great workshop which really opened my eyes to see what I could be doing for my children and didn’t know about before the course... Goes a lot deeper than anything I’ve done before....I loved everything & learned I have to shift my issues to help my children.” Andrea, WA “The workshop combines powerful dialogues and most recent theories on child rearing and taught me to pause and reflect on what is going on in me when I get reactive with my children. Instead of jumping straight into problem solving mode and ‘Mum knows best’ I now see our conflict as an opportunity for healing, creating connections and moving into curiosity, love and respect for my children’s decisions, preferences and thinking. Go for your life and enrol!!” Ranka Joyce, Parent Effectiveness Training Facilitator, Perth, WA “Incredibly powerful! Although the workshop felt like a big time commitment it flew by. Informative sessions and practical demos really helped me absorb it all. I left feeling very enlightened and motivated to practice it with my 4 children, aged 2 to 15yrs. Your dedication to improving family relationships is awesome.” Pip Wynn Owen, WA “As a mother of 4 boys and as a Therapist, I craved to know what makes a healthy family. Imago teaches openness & understanding between parents & THEN parents and children, not one at the expense of the other giving a deep understanding of what matters in families. The workshop teaches the value of creating conscious dialogue with children and the value of open parents willing to build their relationship out of care for their children. Incredibly valuable.” Leah O’Brien, Relationship Counsellor/Coach, Perth WA
Follow-On SEMINAR SERIES: We are delighted to offer, a follow on seminar series to the "Born to Love" Parenting weekend workshop. Along the lines of "it takes a village to raise a child" we believe it takes a community to hold/support relationships and that having an on-going relationship with others with similar concerns and values and a deep interest in creating conscious relationships greatly enhances growth and learning. Many have told us of their need to participate in some sort of on-going group. Attendance in this follow -on series is very highly recommended.
This eight week practical seminar series spread over 3 months, is designed to:
Any new skill, either physical or mental, needs to be practiced. It is only practice that will make progress. Equally so, the pull to go back to your old patterns can be very strong. To prevent going back to the old ways of relating in your family and for the new skills to be fully implemented and integrated in your life, we strongly encourage you to avail yourself of the guidance and support of our Associate RANKA JOYCE, who is an accredited Parent Effectivness Training Facilitator and is currently training in Imago methodology and who will be assisting us on the Parenting weekend workshop.
