​Raising strong, independent children is a goal shared by many parents. However, in our quest to provide the best for our children, we may sometimes find ourselves overstepping boundaries and hindering their development.

​Join us for this workshop and explore the journey of raising resilient, independent children in today's complex world. Discover the profound impact of allowing our children to navigate challenges and learn from their experiences. 

​Through a compassionate lens, we'll delve into the delicate balance between providing support and fostering self-reliance.

​Together, we'll learn to:

• ​Overcome Parental Fears: Understand common parental anxieties that can hinder child development and explore strategies to overcome them.

• ​Empower, Not Overprotect: Explore the dangers of overprotectiveness and the value of empowering children to take ownership of their experiences.

• ​Witness the Beauty of Resilience: Discover the transformative power of resilience in shaping character and building self-confidence
