Join Cristina Barvo, an Early Childhood Educator with more than 10 years of experience in progressive education and a mom, to learn practical strategies used in the classroom that can also be successfully applied in everyday parenting.

In this 2-hour workshop you will learn:

– Foster creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving at an early age (0-5 years)
– Use observation and language as tools to communicate values
– Set limits and handle difficult situations with confidence
– Create a trust-based relationship with your child or student

Includes practical tools, resources and strategies based on Social Constructivism, ideas from Carol Dweck (Mindset), Magda Gerber (RIE) and Alphie Kohn (Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason).

Adults and children have different ways of thinking and perceiving the world. Understanding these differences is key to create effective strategies to connect, communicate and resolve conflicts. As a result, everyday interactions shift from a constant battle to multiple opportunities to cooperate and learn from one another. Our perspective changes from being a dictator or law enforcer to being a role model or leader we want our children to be.

Space is limited.

This event is for adults only. We organized the event on a Saturday morning so it will be easier for parents to find childcare. If you want to attend with your spouse use code EMPOWER2 to get a special discount.
