Are you finding it difficult to parent the way that you were raised now that you are living in America? Are you raising your child in a culture that is different from the one in which you grew up? Are you curious about how or why some Americans raise their children the way that they are? Do you wonder where you can learn about other ways of parenting? Do you want to keep your culture alive in your children?
Different Land? Different Culture? Different Family Life?
Parenting in America is a parenting talk that will provide information that will build up the parent and child relationship, which will lead to easier parenting.
One particular focus will be on respect, which is so important in all of our relationships: Respect for you and for your child, respect for the way you were parented and respect for how you are parenting your own child today.
This will be a LIVE event on Zoom. Participants can remain anonymous on Zoom if they choose.
This parenting talk will be presented in an encouraging, non-judgmental, non-critical manner.
This talk will be given by Jennifer Watanabe, a long-time Parent Educator and Parent Coach. She is the mom of two grown sons. Some of her previous students have included parents of toddlers and preschoolers at Bellevue College in Washington state. She recently retired from the college after more than 20 years of teaching.
Jennifer is an encourager. She continues to work as a parent coach and to teach in private practice. She works with parents who have questions about parenting. They may be overwhelmed by parenting or life’s challenges. Some parents who are having a hard time may need more understanding of what they are going through, more support and more grace. Parents who are struggling may need more resources, someone to talk to, and a fresh perspective. They need less criticism, less guilt and less self-blaming.
This is Jennifer’s guiding principle: Parenting and growing up are together experiences. Parenting is an experience that parents have with their children. Growing up is an experience that children have with their parents. How parenting and growing up happen is at the heart of the parent-child relationship that develops over the years. There are two sides to this relationship: the parent’s side and the child’s side. The quality of this relationship determines the quality of life in the family.
