Parenting, Anger, and You
Wednesdays October 2 to November 20, 2024
6:15pm-8:00pm
VIRTUALLY VIA ZOOM

Parenting can be incredibly demanding, discouraging, and difficult and you may find it challenging to manage your anger in certain situations. This can be even harder if you have a child who also has angry outbursts and moods.
Join us for a parent-to-parent eight-week program for some candid discussions and to learn some strategies that can help your child (and you) to keep your cool.
You will:
• Gain an understanding of what anger is and the different reactions your child (and you) may have while experiencing anger.
• Gain basic knowledge of your child’s personality (and your own) to grasp how he or she processes anger and what is needed from his or her primary caregivers/parents when angry.
• Learn about the different developmental stages of children and youth and how they may express/ experience anger at each stage.
• Discover some basic communication skills to help you navigate through sensitive interactions with your child.

*This program combines the eLearning course ‘Why So Angry?’ with follow-up live  discussions every Wednesday evening. You will be given access to the course after the fist session.
