Join Lauren Calder (Psychologist and Child & Family Mediator) on this fascinating workshop series to learn about your child’s personality dynamic. You will learn about what motivates his/her personality type and how best to respond to his/her unique emotional needs.
Understanding personality: The key to a better relationship with yourself, your children and your partner
Personality can be seen as a reflection of our “ego”. Personality plays a major role in how we parent our children. Each personality type has its unique gifts and also its particular blind spots that can lead to different forms of self-sabotage or difficulties in relationships. Each type has its own set of attitudes, reactions and defenses. Understanding how our ego gets in the way of true expression of who we are is fundamental to personal growth. On The Foundation Workshop, we start by exploring your personality type as an adult and/or partner.
