Misunderstanding to Understanding: Healthy Parent-Child Communication

This workshop is designed to help parents and caregivers reduce power struggles and build stronger, more respectful relationships with their children. Backed by research, you’ll learn how empathy, emotional regulation, and non-reactive communication can positively shape your child’s behavior, brain development, and emotional intelligence. Discover how to replace nagging, threats, and bribes with effective strategies that foster cooperation and internal motivation.

We’ll explore how parenting influences peer relationships, academic success, and your child’s ability to self-regulate. You’ll gain insight into why kids behave the way they do—and how to respond with clarity and confidence. Learn to listen without judgment, acknowledge feelings to build trust, and use descriptive praise that nurtures identity and growth.

By the end, you’ll have a toolkit of practical communication strategies to strengthen your relationship with your child and create a more peaceful, connected home.
