This workshop creates a space for parents and guardians to come together in community to learn how to support the social and emotional development of their students. The learning is centered on gaining awareness for the needs of students based on where they are developmentally. Talking points, tools, and strategies to successfully support the student and model effective communication are provided in an interactive space that allows the participants to explore the learning. The workshop uses the principles of the BECOME self-discovery process to create language and learning parallel to the language and learning being used in the classroom. It raises awareness and confidence in the participant so they can communicate with ease and comfort as they face parenting challenges. The workshop calls on parents and guardians to trust their intuition and engage their students with love and support, so they feel seen and heard.
