Parenting Online Workshops

Are you a parent feeling overwhelmed and stressed trying to navigate these uncertain times?  You are not alone.  These are unprecedented times that call us to come together and support one another.  Our webinars focus on ways to offer yourself and your children compassion and grace, while tapping into parents' creativity to strengthen healthy coping, positive communication, and resilience.   Please join Healthy Focus's online workshops with Dr. Karrie Lager, a parent and licensed psychologist with over 15 years experience.  For more information, call us at 818.230.1050.  

Positive Discipline

 

If we listen closely, our children's behavior is often telling us something....a feeling, need, wish. Learn to listen deeply to better understand your children and respond in a way that models compassion and setting appropriate expectations and limits.  As parents, we can be intentional about how we interact, what we model, and how we discipline with the goal of giving our children the tools to make good choices.

Helping Kids Cope

 

We are facing uncertain and challenging times. In response, some children have big, intense feelings and act out, and others may withdraw, experience sleep difficulties, or struggle to complete schoolwork and everyday tasks.  Learn ways to stay connected with your child and to call upon your compassionate side while helping them release their feelings in helpful ways and cope with the new stresses families face.
