December 11: Parenting Styles
Have you ever noticed yourself saying something to the children in your care that your parents said to you? Or have you ever wondered how to guide and support children effectively, while still preparing them for independence? In this workshop we will explore and reflect on our parenting styles, how they have developed, the benefits and drawbacks of each kind of parenting style, and how to find a balance that best supports a strong family for you.
Topics covered include:
- Understand your own personality style
- Understand authoritarian, permissive, neglectful, and authoritative parenting styles and their effects on children
- Learn actions you can take to increase responsiveness as a parent or caregiver
Kinship Caregiver workshops are a free online series of workshops that provide guidance for caregivers of children as they navigate the joys, challenges and concerns of raising children.
Certificates for participation are provided upon completion of the class.
Participants have the option to attend and actively participate via computer, or an app on a tablet or smartphone. Attendees can also listen to the presentation via phone (by calling in). Those who choose to call in must contact the instructor for directions on how to be eligible for a certificate.
If multiple people in the same location want to participate in the webinar and need certificates, they have to join the webinar separately or contact the instructor for special instructions to each receive a certificate.
