Monthly Discussion + Parent Support Meeting: What is Therapeutic Parenting: Going Beyond Traditional Parenting Approaches to Meet a Child's Needs

Monthly Discussion: 12:20 - 1:30pm

We often question why some parenting strategies work, while others seem to fall short. Traditional parenting is mostly about consequences and rewards, but children who might have loss or insecure attachment in their histories don’t respond to consequences and rewards in the same way children with secure attachment respond. More important, when parenting adopted children we must also be aware of the impact these strategies will have on long-term attachment and the trauma-focused goals we have for our children.

Join us on October 26th for our Monthly Discussion and Parent Support Meeting as we hear an informative podcast on the topic of therapeutic parenting and what methods we can use instead of traditional parenting. 

Parent Support Meeting: 1:30-2:30pm

Immediately following our Monthly Discussion, we'll gather in two smaller groups to share experiences and ideas in a supportive environment. One group will focus on general parenting concerns while the other will discuss parenting children with attachment and behavioral issues. There is no extra fee for this portion of the meeting - just register for the Monthly Discussion; those who cannot stay for both meetings can just come for one or the other.
Parent Support Meeting is open to all parents and caregivers, including waiting/prospective parents.

140HKD for non-members or lapsed members (or click here to join/renew your membership and attend this event for FREE).

Seating is limited, registration and payment are required in advance.

Please arrive to check-in at 12:20 for the Monthly Discussion meeting from 12:20-1:30pm. This will be immediately followed by the Parent Support Discussion Meeting from 1:30-2:30pm. 

Participants can also choose to obtain a Certificate of Attendance for participation in this event. We hope this certificate may support an adoption application by demonstrating an ongoing commitment to learning about the needs of parenting a child through adoption. 

You are welcome to bring your own lunch and beverage.
