PARENTING THROUGH

CONNECTION

On October 27 and 28, join Challenge U for the Parenting Through Connection, an innovative workshop designed to provide parents with key strategies for knowing themselves and relating to their children on a deeper level. This deep connection is the foundation of a loving, healthy relationship.

 

The content of this workshop offers strategies for parenting to strengthen the child’s propensity to live loving, responsible, resilient, meaningful lives.  We learn concepts developed by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel and Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, authors of The Whole-Brain Child. The horses will teach us principles of connection through congruency and clarity.

Why Horses?

Horses are social creatures that readily and honestly respond to the challenges inherent in forming and sustaining relationships. As animals that are preyed upon in nature, they have also retained a highly developed ability to sense changes in the stance and arousal levels of other herd members, an ability they easily transfer to interaction with human beings. Horses see through the slightest incongruities of emotion and intention, yet they are exceedingly patient and forgiving.

In this workshop, you can expect the following outcomes:

  • An understanding the child brain development and how that relates to yourself and your child;

  • Learning how to use 12 specific strategies for engaging the child in challenging situations;

  • Learning how to establish and utilize connection for effective growth and development.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

A week has slipped by since by equine experience. At all levels of my consciousness I continue to “know” today what I thought I knew before I meet a beautiful horse that will live in my heart through the connections of a few moments. When my coach asked me why I was walking backwards to lead the horse forward, I was caught doing something that I was completely unaware of. The horse was moving forward despite my physical posture.  I learned that when I connect with other beings my focus, awareness, and sensitivity is for the other. Balance is so important for me and the other being. Moving into balance will enhance my health and the health of all relationships.   Thank you for this insight at a level never experienced before and thank you for your gift of caring.
