Parenting Courses Offered
In November, we offered two seminars on Parenting that were very well
received by the audience.
The Myth of Perfection- How it Impacts Your Child (Nov 8), Sammamish: It was a Parenting Seminar
where we learned about parents Perfectionism towards their children. Children who strive for perfection are
more likely to experience low self-esteem, depression and anxiety, which can continue into adulthood. Per-
fectionism is a Myth as it denies the existence of any vulnerability and humanness. It denies the need for
God and God's involvement in our parenting!
Nurture Your Child's Emotional Intelligence (Nov 17), Bellevue: Another Parenting Seminar introduced to
help Parents deal with with the experiences of their children success, failure, betrayal, anger, loneliness,
hatred, animosity, honor, dishonor, riches and poverty. We want our children to have proper spiritual tech-
niques in making proper choices aligned with their spiritual natures as Krsna's children!!
