We want to have harmony at home, love and laughter, but also structure, tidy bedrooms, things in place and kids taking responsibility for their actions. Please! Raising kids in a third culture is challenging (where's the village?). Parenting is not easy and we all feel frustration because we are not as effective as we'd like to be.

So, bring on the experts! Nord Anglia International School Rotterdam (NAISR) is hosting the second series of their parent education presentations with parenting experts from around the world, but local to the Netherlands. The best part? All of them are free!

Bring harmony, love and laughter to your home

On January 18 and February 8, we will be equipping parents to "Decode Power Struggles at Home" and learn about "Building Blocks to Conscious Parenting". Here's where you'll acquire skills to set firm limits and still maintain goodwill, express your anger without being hurtful, use alternatives to punishments and resolve family conflicts peacefully. These will be delivered by parent coach, Shruti Kumar. 

In March you can learn how to "Develop real confidence in your kids - with specific praise" (not the "you're-so-smart" type), and in April, we'll learn about "Teaching kids self-control and delayed gratification" (avoid distractions and temptations, something even us parents need!!) by child and adolescent psychologist, Stephanie Baumgarten-Kustner.
