Raising children has never been more challenging. Parents can feel lost, surprised, and hurt by the reactions of their children. In addition, yesterday’s tried and proven teaching methods leave both children and educators perplexed. New models are necessary to reach the children and youth of tomorrow.
In this lecture and participatory workshop with Jaimen McMillan, parents and teachers will share what has worked for them, and examine what has not worked. Then, using the discipline of Spacial Dynamics®, we will learn techniques to create spaces to meet the children in new ways. Through simple movements and interactive exercises we will see that space is more than the abstract distance that separates us, but can become a substance that can connect us. We will experience that creating the dynamic we long for may indeed involve changing ourselves. Come prepared to share, think, move, and laugh!
