Raising Girls Who Can be Strong, and Boys Who Can be Gentle

Patty Wipfler

Description

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.
