Enroll in this FREE MOOC & Reduce the Risk of Conflict with Your Children
8 Weeks
Course Start Date: 4 Feb 2015
live classes
This is an interactive course designed to discuss effective strategies for parenting through language modification.
We are experiencing an era where communication with people in general, and children in particular, is breaking down and causing unnecessary conflict. This course has been developed as a result of the growing need to improve relationships in the classroom, at home and at work.
Participants in the past have claimed that these strategies have led to a more harmonious and effective relationship between parents and children, and with others in various settings both, in and out of home.
This course is for teachers, parents and anyone involved in working with others, particularly young people.
The focus of the course will be on areas of everyday language which, with simple, subtle changes, can reduce or avoid the risk of conflict, and lead to a win-win situation for all.
This course offers unique opportunities to participants not only to share ideas and views, but also to be fully interactive via the virtual classroom, which benefits from audio/visual participation, as well as role-playing and working on the interactive whiteboard.
With videos, PowerPoint presentations and written material to take away and practise, this course offers something to everyone who wants to improve their communication skills.
