School Consultation

 

Full-Day Workshops

The goal is to give a common understanding and language to both faculty and parents regarding the need and benefits of “healthy struggle” both in and out of the classroom. Additionally, group time with students is to help them better understand what shapes their perceptions of daily life, and how they can learn to be young adults who can do “hard things.”

The day is comprised of these three interactive presentations with Q&A:

  1. Morning - “Perception and Maturity” 45-60 min session with teenage students

  2. Afternoon - “Understanding Your Audience” 60-90 min session with faculty and administration

  3. Evening - “Raising Sturdy Kids” parent forum 60 min session + 30 min Q&A

Parenting Retreat

 

1-day Parenting Retreat

The 1-day retreat will help parents focus on the basics of healthy parenting. Couples and single parents will learn how to approach parenting from the paradigm that most children are “normal” and in need of a common foundation of direction and training. During the 1-day retreat you will receive 6 hours of interactive group consultation and training (No worries - No role-play or powerpoint presentations).

Topics discussed:

  • The difference between “normal” and “abnormal” childhood

  • The correct role of emotions

  • Understanding “emotional disordering”

  • Learning how to allow your child/children to struggle in healthy ways

  • Appropriate burdens, responsibilities, and limits for children

  • Answering “What is the goal of parenting?”

  • What does it really mean to “impress” Truth (Deuteronomy 6:7) and “train up” (Proverbs 22:6) a child
