This Parent Support Workshop Series was created to support parents and caregivers of children ages 1-10 by empowering them with skills to reduce their child’s worries or acting out behaviors that have increased in many homes because of the changes from COVID-19 - like virtual learning and missing friends.
These workshops are open to all families but are especially helpful for children who may already have anxiety, ADHD, learning delays, trauma, mild autism, mild intellectual disability, recent moves or changes in the family structure and for children who already had a strong willed personality even before the pandemic.
As an official instructor of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, Mending Hearts offers these workshops for FREE to the community.
What You Will Learn
- 5 ways to speak your child’s love language
- 4 steps to quickly dissolve child anxiety, crying & tantrums
- 3 school work hacks to improve motivation and frustration tolerance
- 2 strategies to decrease child interruptions while working from home
- Play therapy skills you can use to return peace & warmth to the relationship
Our workshops are fun and interactive, and you’ll be an atmosphere of mutual support with other parents who understand the ups and downs of “quarantined parenting.” And you will gain valuable skills from our child behavior expert who is also a licensed therapist and who personally knows the struggle of parenting a child with significant behavioral challenges.
Offered in an educational format, our workshops are based in the principles from Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). PCIT is a family treatment researched and developed through UC Davis Children’s Hospital and backed by 100’s of studies and 40 years of research.
A recent study shows PCIT to be more effective than stimulant medication for treating disruptive behaviors. While we don’t provide therapy at the workshops, we will teach the principles of PCIT in an educational format.
Adoptive/foster families can especially benefit! All our services are LGBTQ+ Affirmative.
