Raising Girls Who Can be Strong, and Boys Who Can be Gentle
All children can develop both inner confidence and the ability to attune to others. Both boys and girls benefit from the ability to stand up for themselves or others, and to treat others with kindness. However, most children go through stages where they become reactive quickly, and these qualities are obscured.
You’ll learn how parents and educators can foster both empathy and assuredness. I’ll introduce Play Partnerships, which help children develop confidence and curb harshness. And you’ll learn how to partner with a child during emotional moments, so their sense of safety and acceptance grows. Kindness and confidence will unfold.

It is true children should be seen, heard and let them get lifted up so that they can be feeling connected and feeling that they’re in a special time. They do learn from this. Thank you
Thanks, Val, for your understanding. Special Time is in deed a powerful trust-builder! The results are just what we parents and teachers look for–warmth, openness, and lots of enthusiasm for learning!
Thanks for sharing your personal experiences and stories. I enjoyed understanding more about flexible behavior and connecting to the child in special time.
You can a me a good point of view about behavior being deep within so often we see behavior as reaction!
Always great hearing children laugh and giggle.
Thanks, Heather, for sharing here. I appreciate your understanding and hope these insights support you as either a parent or an educator!
