Re-Energizing Your Family Life @ The Center for Parenting and Play
Jun 22 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

 The Center for Parenting and Play is thrilled to have Carrie Contey, Phd., parenting coach/educator, return to  The Center for Parenting and Play for a workshop on ReEnergizing Your Family Life!

Want to learn how to feel more connected, have more fun, and flow as a family (every single day)!

In her work as a parenting coach/educator the number one question asked is, “How can I get my kids to do what I need them to do without screaming, negotiating and bribing?!?!?”

In this 90 minute talk she will share the new science of cooperation through connection that will allow you to:

  • Minimize meltdowns (your kids and your own).
  • Know what to do when meltdowns occur.
  • Motivate your little ones with minimal effort for smoother transitions.
  • Understand, read and respond to your child’s brain state.
  • Take better care of yourself so you can parent with ease and intention.
  • Foster deep connection now, for great relationship later.
  • Be more intentional in family life for the short and long-haul.

Participants will leave this workshop with their parenting tool box filled with new and effective strategies for making day-to-day family life easier, more fun and deeply satisfying.

Tickets are $25 with a portion of the proceeds going to help cover the cost for a St. Andre Home client! Please click the link for more information or to purchase your ticket. http://carriecontey.com/summer/.
