This free session is for parents, coaches, teachers and counselors of children between the ages of 5-12.
Are you interested in growing your child’s ability to succeed in school? Would you like to learn another way of helping your child focus and get their homework done? Would you like them to find their inner motivation and feel proud of their success?
In this free talk, Sheona McEwan, SOI Practitioner, will demonstrate some of the short guided imagery exercises that she uses with the children in her practice. The exercises (or games) are designed to be fun, and foster the children’s creativity and imagination. They can address difficulty with focus or perseverance. The games can be aimed at teaching children to come up with their own inner problem solving skills for dealing with fear of failure and improve their self-esteem. Through experiencing these meditations yourself, you will gain your own insight on how they work. Sheona will also show how she has used them in her practice through case studies of children. The aim if for you to understand how you can use these tools with your children.
Whether you are a dedicated teacher or coach, or you would like to know how you can support your own children as parents, this talk will give you a toolkit of inspiration and insight.
The free talk will consist of:
- information about guided imagery, and its use with children ages 5 – 12.
- experiencing guided imagery exercises, and repairing your own inner images
- learning to repair children’s images.
- Q & A regarding different emotional and behavioural challenges of children
Registrants will receive a Zoom link prior to the first session. The workshop will be led in English with Cantonese translation.
