Positive Parenting/How to Raise a Tough Teen - Rescheduled
On Tuesday 14th September, Guilford Young College will be hosting Glen Gerreyn from the HopeFull Institute. Over the past 20 years Glen has shared his message of hope with over a million people around the world; engaging with students, parents, teachers, employees, sporting groups and community leaders. Glen has been invited to speak at TEDx events and on national TV and radio. He has authored five books and created the ‘Men of Honor X’ character development course.
Glen has a unique ability to capture the attention of thousands, while deeply affecting individuals. So much more than being able to inspire, is the absolute art of being able to compel people to take action in their lives. Therein lies Glen’s undeniable gift. With a unique ability of encoding today’s data into tomorrow’s dialect, Glen continues to offer audiences profound experiences of meaning and identity; shifting perceptions, challenging boundaries, and motivating positive change.
We know that young people are living and inheriting an increasingly complex world – socially, environmentally and politically. It’s a world that causes many to flounder- drifting away from their identity, forgetting their purpose and being blinded by societal pressures and fears. Right now, it is also a world where things feel incredibly uncertain. For young people, this can lead to a struggle to stay positive and hopeful.
We would like to offer you, the opportunity, free of charge, to hear Glen’s Positive Parenting/How to Raise a Tough Teen Seminar. This seminar is on Tuesday 14th September, at 6.00pm in the Don Bosco Theatre at the Guilford Young Glenorchy campus. GYC has secured a grant through the Tasmanian Catholic Schools Parents Council to support this seminar and to help us further engage with our parent community. Glen shares the five fundamental positive parenting tools, based on positive psychology research. Our hope is that you will leave feeling equipped to better connect with your children and to empower them to tackle the complex world. Topic covered include:
- How to help your child find a vision
- The rules of encouragement
- How to be where you are
- Teaching your children how to fail
- How to say you’re sorry
- Making the home a refuge
