How to Have a Kind Conversation about a Challenging Topic with a Child and a Teenager and how to Increase Emotional Resilience in Children?

What awaits you?

Two topics are awaiting us in the May session. We will focus on the principles of how to have a kind conversation about a difficult topic with a child or teen, whether the problematic situation is primarily about the child or brought on by an adult. There will be space for naming the possibilities, responsibilities, and limits that arise from the adult's role in relation to the child and their situation. You will also get the chance to hear specific wording that can be used in the conversation. The second topic will be devoted to ways of increasing emotional resilience in children. We will outline how to work with the child's emotions when talking to them, and how to set a good example to the child to promote their emotional literacy. We will also discuss tips on how to guide a child through a challenging situation or setback in a way that increases their resilience and competence.

The seminar will be conducted by the lecturers Zuzana Kubíková a Zuzana Karásková Ulbertová. Together, they also implement the O sebe project, which focuses on prevention and education on the topic of mental health of children and adolescents.

In the Czech Language only.
