Remember this video from the 70s with the lady exclaiming, “Calgon, take me away!”?
Oh, the times I’ve uttered those words… At the end of a long day (or even at the beginning and middle of the day!), I’ve wanted to be whisked away into neverland, trading my chaos in for some peace and quiet.
(Warning: Shameless Plug!) On October 24, we’ll be sweetening the pot a little bit by taking you away from the frustrations of parenting. Oh, I know, I know… a “worskhop” means work. But not this one! We’ll be feeding you, introducing you to other parents just like you, and sending you away with your very own “parent toolkit.”
If you or someone you know is in the North Texas area, this event is a MUST ATTEND. Please pass this blog post along to someone you know needs or wants to attend. And if that’s you, register now because spaces are already filling up!
Top 10 Reasons Parents Should Attend “Calgon, Take Me Away!”
- Learn the importance of discipline and age-approprate consequences
- Discover your personal parenting style and how that style either helps or hurts your parenting process
- Understand how difference parenting style affects co-parenting
- Know how to tailor communication by listening more and talking less (and to connect with your child!)
- Learn how parenting suffers when you don’t take care of yourself, and get strategies for self-care
- Understand the importance of your child’s social network, and how to help foster appropriate relationships
- Know how to give the appropriate amount of privileges versus consequences
- Learn how to better handle responsibilities like school and social outings
- Eat free food, mingle with other parents, and receive your very own “Parent Toolkit”
- Pay only $10!
All of these, plus food. Plus the time away. Plus a new outlook on parenting life as they know it.
Don’t forget the ear of 4 seasoned counselors and life coaches, optional Q&A, and mingling with other parents can you trade stories (this helps us feel normal!).
In fact, it’s all of those! I Choose Change Counseling and Coaching Center will host a 2-hour seminar on Saturday, October 24 at the Allen Public Library for frazzled parents everywhere. And, we make no bones about it… we intend to whisk you away for at least 2 hours, feed you, and send you away with a “Parent Toolkit,” all aimed at giving you new skills, tips, and tricks for dealing with the frustrations of parenting.
Parents with school-aged children will enjoy a parent seminar, the ear of 3 Licensed Counselors on-hand for Q&A, and yes, food. Parents will also be armed and ready with their interactive “Parent Toolkit” at the end of this 2-hour seminar.
