Parenting Through the Digital Age

Technology is changing rapidly; our children are often more internet savvy than we are. It is hard to keep up, and even harder to set limits with screen time, and internet access. Join us as we explore what it’s like to parent in this digital world – what actually happens to our brains when we are on our screens, how to set screen-time limits effectively, and how to turn technology into a positive parenting tool.

Emotions in Parenting

In partnership with Parent Support Services Society of BC, we are pleased to offer Emotions in Parenting, a 1.5 hr workshop via Zoom.

Emotion regulation is an integral part of thriving children, with their parents and caregivers holding the key to this ability. How can we, as grown ups respond to the flood of emotions from our children when we are taking the heat from their behaviours? How can we co-regulate when we ourselves are feeling overwhelmed? And what can we do to start building our children’s emotional capacity and understanding of themselves and others?
