Guiding a child through the rough patches along life’s road – and surviving it yourself – can be daunting.
The Institute of Psychology & Wellbeing (IPW) at the North-West University’s (NWU’s) campus in Potchefstroom invites you to attend their evening workshop for educators, parents and students on how to optimise a child’s performance and abilities.
The workshop with the theme “Surviving school-aged children: parenting lessons, laughs and limits” will take place on 14 March from 18:00 to 20:00 at the IPW, Building E8, Room 127.
Care2Kids@IPW offers a unique multi-professional service to children, from birth to adolescence. They work with children and their families to prevent and improve problems that may lead to poor school performance and social and emotional difficulties.
They also do parent-implemented intervention, parent talks and training, and continuing professional development activities for professionals.
Care2Kids@IPW focus on the following:
- feeding difficulties of babies and children
- responsive parenting
- neurodevelopment
- cognitive and emotional development
- communication development: speech, language and listening
- reading, writing and critical thinking from birth onwards
- extra time and other concessions for learners
- autism
- family therapy
Presenters include experts such as Hanlie Degenaar, a speech-language therapist and audiologist, Linique Hanekom, a speech-language therapist, and Monique de Klerk, a counseling psychologist.
The entrance fee is R25 per person and includes refreshments.
Please join us for a fun, interactive session!
