Description
Being a mother does not come with an instruction manual. It comes with questions, doubts, exhaustion, love, and moments when you simply do not know “what is right.”
This seminar creates a safe space where we can pause for a while, speak, listen, and look at our relationship with young children — and with ourselves — through a new perspective.
Through discussion, the sharing of experiences, simple experiential activities, and role-playing of everyday situations, we approach issues that concern us in daily life: how we communicate with our children, how we set boundaries without guilt, and how we manage difficult behaviours and intense emotions.
What We Explore in the Seminar
We open a living and meaningful dialogue within both small and large groups around themes such as:
how to truly listen to our children
how to express ourselves without shouting or withdrawing
how to distinguish our own needs from those of the child
how to tolerate difficult emotions — our own and those of our children
how we can become “good enough” mothers, rather than perfect ones
The process is adapted to the real needs of the participating parents; there is no right or wrong, only experience and learning.
What we gain through the seminar:
We come into contact with our emotions, understand more clearly what is happening within us before reacting, learn to communicate with greater understanding and less tension, reconcile with our own vulnerabilities, and accept the vulnerabilities of others.
Who is this seminar for
The “Seminar for Mothers and Young Children” is aimed at mothers with children from 0 to 16 years old. Mothers with preschool-aged children can bring them along, as the children will be simultaneously cared for and educated in a separate space through play.
