Description

Do you find your child or students struggling to have face-to-face conversations? Are they having a hard time listening, looking people in the eyes, or knowing how to process their thoughts into spoken words? Especially after these last few years, these abilities seem to be more and more difficult to obtain than in years prior.Our children are constantly surrounded by devices. They have access to a screen almost anytime and anywhere. Even their school days are most likely filled with digital devices as well.With this constant stream of technology, it is easy for our young people to miss out on developing critical relational skills. Technology can be incredibly useful, but there are essential capabilities that our devices are unable to fully teach our children. This course is meant to encourage, challenge, and provide a wide variety of resources and strategies to aid you in helping your children acquire these important life skills.After taking this course, you will have a storehouse of ideas that you can implement in your home or classroom to guide your young people in developing listening, speaking, and collaboration skills. We got to do this work - our children are worth it!Come join me!
