Virtues Parenting Programme This six week course is for parents, teachers and anyone else with responsibility for children or teenagers. Language shapes character. The Family Virtues Guide contains 52 of the universal virtues which help parents bring out the best in their children and in themselves. It creates a climate of caring and character. Picture a community in which everyone, from parents to police has the will and skill to teach respect, foster kindness and model virtues such as integrity, caring, compassion, courage, forgiveness, friendliness, honesty, love, respect, self-discipline and truthfulness – just to name a few. Learn how to: • Recognise the opportunity of teachable moments in the way we speak and the words we use that have great power to discourage or to inspire. • Set clear boundaries • Support children and teens in making moral decisions Where: Relationships Australia, 1 Ord St, Fremantle When: 10.00 am – 12.30 pm on Wednesdays 22, 29 October, and 5, 12, 19, 26 November (you may start on the second week if you can’t make the first week). Cost: $110 per person To book telephone 9489 6322.
