Abstract :

The importance of the connection in the parent-child relationship has been seen as influential in caring for the mental health in young people today. It highlights the need to bring the relationship between adult and child to a new level that will provide a safe environment for children to thrive amidst the stressors of daily living. In this 8 week program of connecting with children, the needs of children and the skills of dialogue will be presented. The goal is to communicate safety and acceptance to children that will allow us to move into a prevention model. The hope is to optimize the chances to offer support, safety and structure needed in the environment where self-esteem can be strengthened. The result would be significant self-acceptance, self-confidence and self-knowledge that they need to face the bigger world. Begin to nurture competence and not compliance. Grow us adults to provide a healthy model for children.
