MINI ZEAL FOR LIFE 4 WEEK FAMILY PROGRAMME
Date: 13 Febuary 2010
Venue: Karoo Café, 141 Lynnwood Road, (Opposite Willow Way Shopping Centre), Pretoria East
Cost: R1800 per 2 parents, 1 child
Time: 9h30 - 12h30
This programme provides the foundation for sound emotional intelligence. The core principles of a sound EQ are to be aware of your feelings and how they influence your behavior, actively managing your feelings to facilitate better choices, motivating yourself, choosing how you want to be and then giving of your best.
For the foundation programme, the emphasis is on seeing children once a week for 2-3 hours over a period of 4 weeks. What makes this programme unique is that parents are required to participate with their children in the first and last week of the programme.
This ensures that all family members are committed to the programme and are aware of expectations. Extensive groundwork is done in the foundation programme on educating children about the physiology of the brain as this creates understanding of their own thinking patterns and how these influence their actions.
The outcome of this programme is for children to understand the effects of their thinking on their feelings, behavior and consequences. They learn that all feelings are acceptable, but not all behavior is acceptable.
R.S.V.P date:Latest on/before Friday 5 Febuary 2010. Limited space so don’t delay!
