Contents and operation of the 8-week course for parents, teachers and professionals working with children.
Trainer: Mark Hansen
In the weekly online meeting of 2 to 2.5 hours:
- Get in touch with your own center of peace and calmness
- Create peace and calm within your family, classroom or other work setting with children. The ability to be “present” and yourself in contact with your child(ren). To look and listen to yourself and the children, without judging
- Discover your ‘pause button’ and the brood factory. How do you deal with it?
- Teach you the art of ‘stopping’ and noticing that you are breathing. The breath brings you into this moment, making you less stuck on ‘what still needs to be done’ or ‘what should have been done’
- You come to realize that you cannot prevent stress and workload, but you can influence how you deal with it
- Choose what you need to be fit, motivated and fully present in contact with your child(ren).
- Use your qualities and those of your students better to let them flourish
- You practice self-care and self-compassion: the courage to be vulnerable and strong at the same time. And convey this to the children.
