"The Joys and Challenges of Parenting" is the title of a course on parental skills to be organised by the Educational Committee of NCW over five sessions from October 10 to November 7. The aim of this course is to respond to the needs of parents in a flexible and relevant manner by building on their experience, skills and strengths.
The focus would be on children's behaviour and fostering a positive attitude between parents and children. The course co-ordinator is Vivien Cassar, MA Educ. and NCW member and guidance teacher, who has conducted several similar courses. The five topics to be discussed include: the cycle of behaviour; communications and listening skills; building self-esteem; and conflict management.
The course will be conducted in Maltese and will be held at the NCW Centre, Blata l-Bajda, every Friday from 6 to 7.30 p.m. The fee is Lm5 for one person and Lm8 for a couple. Information leaflets will be given at each session and childcare facilities are to be provided during the course.
