Session #1 - Today’s Toxic
Culture
This session sets the tone for the entire program
by exploring the culture to which our children are exposed.
Everyday our kids are inundated with messages promoting
violence as fun, sexual promiscuity, drug and alcohol
use, and lack of accountability. Parents can no longer
parent in isolation and must be prepared to monitor
their child ’s exposure to the culture.
Session #2 - Put Yourself In The Way
Every child deserves a “crazy” mom or dad!
One who isn’t afraid to show up and be a visible
part of their child’s life. This session outlines
the prevention process used throughout the workshop, and
introduces the 5 A’s of prevention:
Be Aware!
Be Around!
Be Alert!
Be Assertive!
Be Awake!
Session #3 - Awareness Is Your Best Friend
Listen to your intuition. If you note changes
in your child’s behavior, a sudden drop in academic
interest, a new set of troublesome friends, don’t
ignore the situation. This session outlines significant,
observable lifestyle indicators which could signal positive
or negative changes.
Session #4 - Remember The Difference
There is a significant difference between children and
adults. Unfortunately the Toxic Culture is blurring
that line. This session explores ways to ensure your
child understands the difference between trust and being
trustworthy. We will also explore how to develop 3 important
character traits and how to set appropriate consequences
for negative behavior.
Session #5 - Expect And Inspect
It has been said, “the quality of a crop is in direct
proportion to the quantity of the farmer’s footprints
in the field.” In today’s Toxic Culture, the
quality of our children may be in direct proportion to
the quantity of our footprints in their ROOM! This session
outlines the need for families to develop and communicate
a family belief system and the importance of inspection
to ensure it is met.
Session #6 - Never Cry Alone
Communication is at the cornerstone of any successful
relationship. This session helps parents break through
the communication gap with their children by learning
to communicate what they feel…not just what they
think.
Session #7 - Traps To Avoid
This session explores 7 specific Parent Traps
which keep our kids from becoming successful adults:
· Wealth without work.
· Education without character.
· Entertainment without conscience.
· Adulthood without childhood.
· Freedom without accountability.
· Love without limits.
Session #8 - Building A Family Vision
Companies do it. Organizations do it. Even individuals
do it. The question is how many parents actually sit down
and develop a mission statement or vision for their child?
This session provides a time tested planning model that
can help them organize a game plan for raising their child.
By developing a Vision - Strategies - Projects - Tactics
outline, parents can work with their children to help them
reach their goals and dreams.
 The
Parent to Parent program offers flexible options for parents!
Classes will be offered to parents in the mornings, during
the afternoon, in the evening, or even on the weekend.
