Workshop: Conflict Regulation for Parents

 

Every relationship has conflict. Relationship success is largely determined by how conflict is handled.

​

This is a virtual stand-alone workshop for parents (and parents-to-be) who are interested in learning how to work together to regulate conflict more efficiently.

 

Why is this important?
Research has shown the following effects of a distressed relationship on children:

• Parents have more difficulty coordinating with each other. 

• Parent-Child interactions are more negative. 

• Infants withdraw from their less involved parent, not looking to them in situations in which they would normally look to an adult for reassurance or feedback. 

• Children are at risk for developing mental health problems. 

• Children are less physically healthy and get sick more often (catch colds, etc.). 

• Children are at increased risk for developing behavioral problems. 

• Children do less well in school.
