Description: Back by popular request! Never has so much been
done for so many by so many...with the best of intentions!
Studies show that when children are overindulged (by having too
many resources, through over nurturing or by being raised in a soft
structure environment--one lacking clear rules and consequences)
they are actually prevented from learning many important life
skills that are imperative in order for them to become responsible,
dependable, well-adjusted, resilient adults. Parents/adults
often confuse love with overindulgence and are afraid to subject
their kids to even a moment's frustration or deprive them of
anything they desire. However, a life lesson that we all must
learn is that we just can't always get/have our way, and the public
school setting is often the first place a student comes
face-to-face with this reality. Attend this workshop and
learn how to teach children what "enough" means, how to instill
responsibility and independence in children, tips on establishing
firm rules and fair consequences and how to break the cycle of
overindulgence. Repeated.
