Do you find that you just don’t understand your child?
Do you complain about how ‘hard’ it is to parent your child? Or do you sigh with relief that your child is so ‘easy?’
Is your child too persistent? Not persistent enough?
Too energetic? Or maybe not enough?
Too dramatic with their emotions?
Cries too much or too hard?
Do you ever say, “Oh, s/he is just that way.” Or “Why isn’t my child more like me?”
We are all different.
Just like the squares on a Rubik’s cube.
These differences are noticeable in a family.
A research-based study was done of the temperament traits that children are born with. What are these traits? Energy level, Distractibility, Adaptability, Persistence, Regularity, Sensitivity, First Response, Intensity, Mood. Other considerations include Introversion, Extroversion and more.
This parenting class will include a detailed description of these traits and will help you identify the traits found in your family. Similarities and differences can affect the relationship dynamics in your family, including how compatible family members are.
Learning about temperaments may help explain your child’s behavior. That understanding will help you find the best way to parent your child based upon his/her temperament traits.
This information will also help you and your child understand and navigate their school experience in the years to come.
The class will be facilitated by Jennifer Watanabe, a long-time parent educator and parent coach.
