STEP IN OR STEP ASIDE - Knowing when and how to get involved (or not) in your child's challenges (TELECLASS!!)

* Do you jump in at the first sign of difficulty to fix things for your kids?

* How can you be involved without doing it for them?

* How do you let go and trust they’ll be okay?

As a parent, the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do is back away and let my children cope with uncomfortable or difficult situations. I thought I had the answers that would help them avoid disappointment or pain.  And then there were times that I cared more about an outcome than they did.  Big mistakes, both of them.

That helpless feeling is the worst, isn’t it?  Does it make you want to take control?  Do you find yourself micromanaging?  

If so, you’ll want to attend “STEP IN OR STEP ASIDE – Knowing When and How to Intervene (or not) In Your Child’s Challenges”.  Of all my parent workshops, this is THE program that will help you get a handle on that urge to hover and be too involved. (Where do you think the expression ‘helicopter parent’ came from, anyway?)  

At this FREE seminar for parents you will learn:

* a proven tool to determine when your intervention is appropriate.

* when to teach versus when to take action.

* the one thing you must do before giving your child feedback.

* how to recognize when your own buttons are being pushed.

* the mandatory shift parents must make in order to be heard.

This event is free, and will take place on Tues, April 24, 8:00-9:00pm  For more details and registration, go to www.yourfamilymatterscoach.com/events. You can also reach me at fern@yourfamilymatterscoach.com or 201-747-9642.
