Raising Resilient Children

Raising Resilient Children
 What we can do – as parents and community – to help!

The South Wairarapa Principals’ Association recognized the impact of Covid on many students and their families. With sponsorship from South Wairarapa Rotary Club we are pleased to present a series of free workshops for parents and caregivers.

The first three workshops will be led by Kathryn Berkett. Kathryn is a mother of two adolescents, with a Masters in Educational Psychology. Kathryn has been learning and working in this area for over twenty years, training national and international audiences, including Police, Teachers, Parents, Social Workers, NZ Rugby and many more.

Resilience: Tuesday 16 February, 7.00pm- ANZAC Hall Featherston

Understanding the neuroscience of how resilience develops, will help us recognise what we can do in our everyday lives and interactions, to increase resilience in our communities. This session will help you understand, in a simple yet sufficient way, how we can build resilience.

The beauty of this session is that you can take the information and immediately apply it to your world.

Looking after yourself, so you can look after others: Tuesday 16 March, 7.00pm- ANZAC Hall Featherston

This session will help us understand the impact ongoing stress can have on our thinking, our behaviour and even our health. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to identify the onset earlier and have the tools to deal with stress before it becomes a bigger issue?

What’s going on? Navigating the adolescent years: Thursday 20 May, 7.00pm ANZAC Hall, Featherston

Understanding the changes, and how they affect our adolescents, will give you and increased ability to deal with the behaviour that results from them.

Come along to this unique, local opportunity to hear what might be the most useful information of your life!
