Parent Salon
Parent Salon is an ongoing meeting place where a small group of parents (max. 6) reflect in a warm, welcoming and supportive environment on their children and themselves in their role as parents. The Salon offers a space where parents can start to think in a new way about the complex links between their own and their child's actions, feelings, and words.
This will help shed new light on old problems, inspiring the parent to find new, creative solutions that will work for both parent and child.
In the process parents will start to recognize how this capacity for reflection is a powerful tool towards building a strong relationship with their children. This skill helps children to feel more secure in the parent-child relationship and provides families with tools that will be critical to the child’s developing capacity to form and maintain intimate, mutual, and supportive relationships in the future.
An Bulkens, LMFT will facilitate each meeting and will take the specific parenting experiences of the participating parents as the starting point of each meeting.
