OCTOBER WEBINAR

Give Your Child Courage for Change

Thursday, October 21, 2021 9:00 pm
Eastern Daylight Time (New York, GMT-04:00)

As parents, we often expect our children to handle change with the same confidence and poise as an adult. We might be expecting too much! The uncertainty of changes in the status quo can be very unsettling to children unless we teach them how to handle the emotions and the phases of personal and situational change in their lives. This webinar will teach you some strategies for giving your child the courage to face change more effectively.

You will learn:
• The three requirements for making a change
• Why your child might resist any change
• How to explain the phases of change
• How to get your child’s buy-in for necessary change

David will connect the key life skills of the lesson with winning on the field, and in life. The Power Point materials are loaded with practical information worth saving for future reference.
