Take the challenge. Edmonds, a licensed child psychologist in Athens, remarked that this interactive session will help parents increase the bond they have with their child, decrease anger and frustration between them and their children, and increase their child's self-esteem and attention span. When we get agitated or upset, there are some methods for calming down so that one, the anger doesn't escalate, and then two, your children hear love and concern from you as opposed to anger. Glauser continued that he presents ways to take care of yourself first, and how much more effective as a parent you can be when you do this. He said the workshop helps parents become more adjusted, grounded and focused as parents.
