A Schema Therapy-Based Parenting Program
November 9-10, 2024 (Part 1) & November 16-17, 2024 (Part 2)
Saturday Sessions: 10am - 4pm / Sunday Sessions: 10am - 1:30pm
Synopsis
Ephesians 6:4 gives parents an important directive - do not Exasperate your children, Nurture them instead; however, parents often struggle to understand what these terms mean? Good Enough Parenting (GEP) gives parents a step-by-step guide on how to avoid "exasperation interactions", and how to increase nurturing ones, thereby ensuring their childre's universal core emotional needs will be met. Apart from being rooted in the Bible, GEP is unique, it is rooted in the Bible and is also an in-depth, research-centered, evidence-based parenting program, in addition to being the only Schema Therapy based parenting program in the world. GEP has been endorsed by many top researchers including Dr Jeffrey Young, Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University, New York, and Founder of Schema Therapy.
