Maricarmen González-Izquierdo To Grow Being a Parent
To be a truly responsible parent one needs to be convinced that through our lives, it is our children who will teach us the most to recognize that a parent’s learning process never ends; to understand that, in our personal growth, our compromise with ourselves will avoid our repeating the patterns we carry in our histories as children. Being a parent is one of the most difficult challenges faced by a human being because there has never been a school or a university where one can learn to be a father or a mother. As parents we have often wished to be told how to educate our children, we have yearned for recipes and rules to deal with everyday situations and problems at home. The
proposal put forth herein is that the best way to be a parent is, first, to
grow being parents is, first, to grow being parents, in a process that ends
when we die. This approach is the result of many years of experience in courses
for parents and of many therapies. The program is eminently
didactic–therapeutic. It provides parents with simple, easy to understand
material, which can be used as a base for their personal growth and that will
aid them in educating their children along the line of responsibility.
A sample initial session will be presented in a three hour workshop. The participants will use material to identify their style of education and to analyze the neurological levels for being a responsible parent. The session will also have gestaltic sensibilization and applied NLP exercises.
