It’s hard to watch our children struggle socially. When they’re left out, caught in conflict, or simply unsure how to make a connection we might feel helpless or unsure how to respond. Our instinct may be to fix things, coach them or even try to change them —but real friendship skills run deeper.
In this caring, practical workshop, you’ll learn how to guide your child from the inside out. Discover ways to nurture self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Adolescence is a pivotal period marked by important physical, cognitive, and social transformations. As teenagers navigate the challenges of self-identity and social dynamics, they may exhibit moodiness, anxiety, or irritability. However, when these behaviors escalate to withdrawal, lethargy, altered eating or sleeping patterns, loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, or conflicts with peers and adults, it could indicate underlying depression or anxiety.
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of mood disorders is essential for providing timely and effective support. This session will equip you with practical strategies to foster healthy coping mechanisms and promote your teen’s emotional well-being. We’ll discuss common pitfalls to avoid, ensuring that your approaches are supportive and constructive.

Each of us grows up in a unique family and when we come together as a couple, we don’t usually talk about our parenting beliefs until children are actually on the scene. Parenting differences between partners can be helpful, but over time those conflicting styles can become problematic. These differences can cause undue stress on a marriage and on children as well. But there are practical strategies you can use to get on the same page about common parenting disagreements.
We’ll touch on sugar, screens and children’s emotions as examples of key areas where parents may differ. Join us to understand conflicting parenting styles and gain strategies to resolve your conflicts as a team.
