Beginning in October, Yew Chung International School of Beijing (YCIS Beijing) will hold Active Parenting Workshops, one for parents of children up to 5 years, and a second workshop for parents of children ages 5-12.
The first workshop, Active Parenting: First Five Years, is open for parents and other caregivers every Wednesday from October 18 to November 8. It focuses on making the most of the first few years of tots, showing the participants the concept of nurturing young children with “just the right” combination of freedom and nonviolent discipline. This program is created by Dr. Michael Popkin, one of the US’s foremost experts on parenting education.
Over three million parents have participated in Active Parenting Workshops, where they’ve learned about topics such as:
– What a baby’s cry means
– Ages and stages of development
– Building a strong bond
– Your child’s growing brain
– Using mindfulness to keep your cool
– Effective discipline young children can understand
– Choices and consequences
– 6 ways to prepare your child for school success
