Designed for anyone involved in the lives of children, the Pause, Look, Listen workshops provide families with a parenting framework to meet their children in the moment. Workshops are broken down by stages of childhood development (0-7, 8-12, and 13-17 years old).  Parents learn how children can be inspired, nurtured, and encouraged by considering how they feel, what they experienced and any lingering issues or trauma responses that will arise during their child's growth stage. A parent and child can grow together provided the adult addresses any sexual shame or issue that would inhibit their child from experiencing positive and healthy messaging about their sexual health and sexuality. We will go on a short journey together to explore the message you want to send to your children.
