‘Resilience, confidence and wellbeing: tips and tricks to help children grow from life’s ups and downs.’ 

We all want our children to grow up with healthy levels of confidence, resilience and wellbeing. While no one is confident or resilient all the time, being able to respond to life’s challenges with confidence, resilience and a growth mindset will help your child throughout their lives. Madhavi will explain what confidence, resilience and wellbeing are (and aren’t) and take you through practical tools based on her book, ‘The Resilience and Wellbeing Toolbox,’ including how to problem solve, manage emotions, set goals, be grateful and much more. Madhavi’s tools are easy to implement, evidence-based and delivered in a highly engaging way. You can read more about Madhavi’s work and published works here:

‘Big feelings in families: how to help and stay connected.’

If you struggle knowing how to respond when your child experiences difficult feelings like anger, frustration, jealousy and worry, you’re not alone. One of the hardest things in a family is to support your child’s emotions and psychological growth while juggling the competing demands of daily life. In her usual down-to-earth and practical way, Madhavi will explain the ‘why’ of children and teenager’s feelings and the ‘how’ of responding calmly so you stay connected and support the growth of their long-term emotional intelligence.

The Confident Parenting Blueprint.

Children are often observing adults and how they respond to life’s ups and downs. Learn ways to manage your own emotions, improve your own confidence in parenting through family connection, provide positive discipline and begin constructive conversations with your children, so your family can thrive.

Emotionally Intelligent families

We teach our children physical hygiene and independent living skills, but what about emotional hygiene? Understanding your own and other people’s feelings is what emotional intelligence is all about and is crucial for getting along well with others. Being emotionally aware, sets you up for deeper connection with others, stronger empathy increasing your likelihood of overall success. Madhavi Nawana Parker will teach you how to become a more emotionally intelligent family in this practical session.
