Parenting Seminar--Using Emotional Intelligence to Raise Compassionate and Resilient Children June 12, 2011

In this seminar, participants learn to help their children become emotionally intelligent and find ways to express their feelings authentically and appropriately.

Dr. Daniel Siegel is the creator of Mindsight, a powerful and creative way to train the mind to see itself. In doing so, practitioners develop a transformative level of self-awareness, understand their inner lives with more clarity, and re-wire the brain to create more compassion and understanding in their relationships.

Through a keynote presentation and multiple workshops, participants will learn how to use Mindsight with their children to help them discover their feelings as a source of strength. Techniques for cultivating resilience and well-being will be explored. The seminar will also enable parents and caregivers to strengthen bonds with children, leading to stronger families and communities.

Designed for parents, expectant parents, mental health care practitioners, and teachers, the program includes the keynote lecture and two ninety-minute workshops.

Participants must also sign up for a workshop from Session A and Session B (both are included in the cost of this seminar). For more detailed descriptions of these workshops and to register for the seminar, please visit www.skirball.org/parentingworkshops
