You don’t need to have been following Alice’s Summer Parenting Diaries on LinkedIn, to be well aware of the acute pressures at play for parents as we battle through until September. To help smooth your summer - and beyond - the Step Up Club has invited clinical psychologist and author of Parenting for Humans: How To Parent The Child You Have As The Person You Are, Dr Emma Svanberg a vital, one off workshop.
Based on her book, and bringing her two decades of experience to the session, Emma will:
Help ease the crippling pressures and conflicting advice of parenting.
Explore the many reasons that parenting feels so hard
Empower you to understand your instincts
Support you to see your child as the person they are
Understand what we bring to the parenting journey - our hopes, values, views, circumstances, relationships, upbringing - and how you can gain confidence in yourself not just as a parent, but as whole human being
‘Most parenting advice tells us how we can better parent our children, but not why this can feel so hard. Dr Emma Svanberg focuses on how to bolster ourselves as parents so that parenting can feel like less of a challenge.’ - Anna Whitehouse, author, and host of Dirty Mother Pukka Podcast
‘You will learn why you parent the way you do, how to grow into your own parenting role and, ultimately, how to parent the unique child you have'’ - Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good Inside, and CEO and founder of Good Inside
You are not alone if you feel like no matter how hard you are trying, you just can't quite get it 'right'. The fact is, parenting is hard and once you know this and why, you can forgive yourself for finding it a struggle, and start to look for the things that make parenting a joy. Join Emma’s session to shortcut you to happier, less stressful parenting.
With the right support and guidance, we can all totally do this parenting thing and grow a positive and loving relationship that will last forever.
