Come join us for a group meal with Michael Anderson before his class, GIST: The Essence of Raising Life-Ready Kids.

Come to this training to learn about the Resource parent education program and accessing parent education dollars for your site.

GIST will give new and valuable insight into the process of how kids mature through their experiences of life, what the authors call a "checklist to adulthood." You will be given new ways of thinking about learning and anti-learning, fun and joy, self-esteem, minimizing shame, understanding self-protective behavior, over-talking to your kids, why kids do stuff that drives you crazy, and the importance of truth-telling.

GIST will make you think, force you to go deeper, and may even ruffle some feathers. Like it or not, many parents today are struggling and the younger generation is now living out the consequences of ineffective, over-nurturing, over-indulgent, and over-protective approaches. GIST focuses on how looking at parenting differently is the first step in growing-up your children.

Calming down an emotional situation between a parent and a child can be really difficult. It is easy to get caught in the emotion of the moment. Adults can do better when they can remain calm and understand the situation. This class will help adults understand the spectrum of anger in children and adolescents, how anger impacts the brain and body system, and consider how anger and rage can occur and be supported in family systems. During the presentation adults will learn tools on how to help children and adolescents reduce anger as their go-to response, and have intervention ideas for professionals, caregivers, and parents for when a child is angry.
