The Power of Relationship: A conversation on building and maintaining an effective relationship with your children
Parenting is a journey filled with both wonder and challenge. At the heart of navigating this journey is the power of relationship—a vital key to both appreciating the beauty and managing the difficulties. This interactive online talk is designed to support parents and guardians children including adult children in maintaining strong, meaningful connections, even during difficult moments and tough times. Grounded in the principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the session will offer practical tools for effective communication and emotional regulation. Participants will learn and practice skills that foster deeper connection, reduce conflict, and promote well-being for both caregiver and child. With our real-life examples, open discussion, and opportunities for audience participation, this presentation creates a supportive, engaging space for learning, reflection, and growth.
